The B.S.A. Company is a great be-< [iever in gaining first-hand information concerning the wad conditions in the countries where B.S.A. motor-cycles are used and Mr. D. Y. Eennie, the firm's travelling representative, was recently sent to New Zealand to Bpy out the land, Messrs. Adams, Ltd., planned a trip for Mr. Eennie which would demonstrate the difficulties that beset the New Zealand motor cyclist in quite a striking manner. With Mr. G. B. Brown, Mr. Eennie took a B.S.A. 4Jh.p. single-cylinder motorcycle three-speed countershaft gear (of course) and side-car from Christchurch through Arthur's Pass to Otira, Kumara, Mnvchison, Nelson, Blenheim, Glenhope, Seddon, Kaikoura, Waiau. and Hannier, 800 miles, all overland. The trip was a tough one, but the B.S.A. and side-car (weighing 6001b. with passongers), came through magnificently. The capabilities of tho 3-speed gear were fnlly demonstrated, and so pleased were Messrs. Adams, Ltd., with the result of this gruelling "try-out" that they cabled trebling their standing orders for B.S.A. motor-cycles. A small shipment has just arrived, and prospective purchasers should order early. Adams, Ltd., Christchurch, Palmnrston North, and Wftnganui.
