SUCCESS OF TUBEE-SPEED "TKIUMI'ftS" in SI-PE'CAR, TRIALS. _ There used to be a notion, not so very I long ago, that tho standard siagSc-cylbidep 8} h.tt. inotor-eyclo was not powerful enough for. side-car work. The ifltttxhic. tion of the "Triumph". three-snood gc.tr did a great 'doal to dispel that notion.-, and tho fallacy must havft' received its deathblow in the side-cat trials conducted by tho N.C.M.CC. over the Akftrba.Christchurch course on Anniversary- Day. T'horoute is full of kills., aid the Roing was made heavier than usual by recent raids. Before the start it was confidently prophesied that the s.ine't-e»cy)imle.r machines would uevw see the end of tho jeiirney. To the surprise of evoryosrc not in the knew the single-cylinder machines, of which, there- were thirteen, behaved on the average as well, if not bettor t-haiii tho seven big t<rin<«y3inder fti-achiiiog with engines of up to double tho horse-sower. Especially meritorious was tho perforinonee of tlw three-speed "Triuin'pfiß." One of these machines, driven by I\ Havrorrh. was cm of the five which s-ediired .full marks for reliability, while it was only beaten for first plnco by a twin-cylinder fiißchino on one point, on condition. As tin* only meant that the "Triumph" had an extra splash of. mud or-an extra drop of nil suiherinfc.lo tin; engine, it detracted nothing from the practical value of the "Triumph's" faultlttss performance-, It should be mentioned that in this trial there was no handicapping. Every machine stood on its owi-i merits, irrespective of power. Tho "Triumph" was coupled to a "Canoeict" side-ear, tho sSiengtli, daintiness and Kpiiinoss of whichl created mue-h fiivOuniWo -comment.
