INTERNATIONAL VICTORY FOR B.S.A. MOTOR-CYCLE. During tho comparatively short period that has elapsed since its first appearance on tho markot, the B.S.A. motorcycle has rapidly forged its way ahead, until to-day it stands in tho very forefront of 6inglc-cylinder machines. The B.S.A. scored its latest and most crushing triumph in the greatest motor-cycle competition yet organised, the Paris-Nice trial over CG7 miles. All the leading British and Continental motor-cycles were represented. Tho most valuable prizo was that ;iven by the President of tho French Republic for the smallest engine with side-car to complete the journey, and this coveted distinction fell to tho B.S.A. The B.S.A. also won tho La Turbio hill-climb, Keating mnchines of much higher power, and the Flying Kilometer event for 3J h.p. machines with side-enrs. Only two B.S.A.'s competed in tho Paris-Nico Trials, and both camo through without losing a single mark, winning gold medals. Tho B.S.A. was tho only machine to finish in the 3} h.p. single-cylinder class in the 500 c. c. side-car class, the only two classes in which it was entered. Tho B.S.A. is a consistent performer, and it will do as good work and give as reliablo service in New Zealand as in tho Old World, as wo have proved on occasion. Come and sec tho new models.
