"TRIUMPHS" SCOOP THE POOL IN THHEE DAYS TRIALS ATCHRISTCHURCH.

One- of the strongest points about tho "Triumph" motor-cycle is the consistency of its performance. Othsr "long Suits" Df the "Triumph" are reliability, mid economy. We are in the happy position of being able to offer abundant proof of these assertions. Last year when the results of the ■ North ■ Canterbury Motor Cycling Club's annual reliability trials were worked out it was found that the "Triumph" riders were first in the private owners' class, first in tho trade class, first in the petrol consumption test, and first in tho teams' competition, sweep* ing the board. In this war's trials, run on January Ist, 2nd, Mid 3rd, over n iOSmile route, including tho steep hill at Okain's Bay. and the Zigzag, with tho Toads in bad condition, there was a field of twenty-seven riders, and all the leading makes' of motor-cycle wro represented, Thero were no fewer" than iiin.o of (hose big twin-cylinder machines. AVe have been'fold recently that _ those twins are mighty economical on petrol, but, <in this occasion, the "Triumph" upheld the honour of tho single-cylinder brigade tor gelling lowest petrol consumption. You see this time there was. mi official test lor petrol consumption. Tho result board runs as follows:—Private Owner?/ Class— V. Cuiichinaii, "Triumph," 1; H. Pearce, "Triumph," 2. Trade Class—P. Haworth. "Triumph." 1; Q. B. IJwwn, "Triumph," 2; .1. II.■ Michael "Triumpli." ft. Teams' Competition—P. Huworih, G. B. Brown, and J. 11. Michael, "Triumphs," 1, Petrol Consumption—F. Haworth, "Triumph," 1. It. is unnecessary to point the moral or adorn the tale. There is a big shipment of the latest "Triumphs" arriving shortly, and intending purchasers will b? well advised to book their ni-ders early. Adams.

11l these days of labour troubles and sudden "downing of took-" it is interesting to know, the Chatha. "Leader" states ,tlint, on a certain station in the back-hiocks of Otago, there is a man who has worked on the same station for over twenty-six years. During that time the station hits changed hands more than once, and this wan, who started work nt ten years of age, has been taken over by the .new owners. According to the English "War Cry," tho profits' of the [salvation Army's Trade Department during the past year amounted to £4-100, which is to bo distributed amongst tho customers. This is the outcome of the profit-shar-ing schema inaugurated in 1011, giving; to soldiers and officers purchasing ■"informs, literature, and other Tcijuisites, a share in the business. Part of the scheme was that ~> Pit cent. pe» annum should be paid on the capital employed in the Army's Supply Store*. The profits above that were to he distributed amongst the customers, and for the past year these equal §i per cent. Another result was a big increase in tho volume of business done. "It ia astonishing what things como through the water mains," remarks the. Mayor of Grey Lynn at Monday night*? meeting of the Borough Council (says tho Auckland "Star."). There was trouble about the water supply on Great North Road towards the end of last '■' ■ week, and ho put in u night with a waterworks staff to ascertain the c«us»i. "At tho Strainer," he added, "wo took out stones, glass bottles, boots, and jam tins. How they got theic it is hard to tell." A criticism Was levelled ngaiiist Auckland by Mr. R. Barnes, of Wellington, ono of the players present at tho conversazione held ns a finale to th© Chess . Congress. Tho burden of Mr. Barnes's ';' complaint (says the "Herald") was that the streets lacked immc-plntos and the houses lacked numbers, ffo said that he inauirod of n- rag-nnd-lwttl man m Grev Lynn tho naino of a street, and the'man confessed that though ho had hwn freoumitins it for seven rears; ho Cid not k'liow its name. A householder in the same street had been there 12 months without knowing the nuMbfcr of tho house, Tiio Mayor (Mr. C. J. Parr) humorously replied that tlio streets in Auckland City were all i;am«l and lite houses numbered, out the sub' ilrbs were growing so rapidly that numbers could not.bo put up fast enough. Detective Mason arrested a man yesterday and charged him with tho altcsed theft of a duck Slid a fcwl. valued at 65.. the property of the licensee of .- the Empire Hotel.
