MOTOR CYCLE NOTES

TO-MORROW’S RACE MEETING The Wellington Ferry this morning brought over three riders for the Nelson Motor Cycle Club’s meeting to be held at Richmond Park to-morrow. Sid. Morrison, brought his Scott. This machine is not an ordinary machine converted for the day but it is a special racing model and if looks are any criterion it should prove a real ‘‘hot bus”. The wicked looking pair of short exhausts pipes will no doubt be screaming out a high pitched note to-morrow afternoon. If Morrison shows anything like the form he did before his temporary retirement from racing the combination of man and machine should prove highly effective. 0. Lundis arrived with his big Harley on which he has done very well recently In the North Island. In addition he has brought his mascot, a huge Alsatian. This rider and R. Pennial (with a Norton) have just come off a thousand mile hour of race meetings in the North and ore in great form. Pennial has not been too lucky recently and it is hoped that on this, his first visit to Nelson, he will see a turn of the tide. To-morrow’s boat will bring Percy Coleman and the rest of the North Island riders. The local boys are determined to he well in the hunt and many late nights have been spent on careful tuning. Everett’s Indian is said to he as fast as ever.

(V late entry for the Novice chiss is D. Biair who will ride Joe Elliot’s old New Imperial. If this machine is anything like its former self, it will he very welcome on the track again. As usual, arrangements have been made for Club members to sell tickets on the road between Richmond and the Park gates. Spectators are advised to patronise these sellers in order to avoid a crush at the gate. The public is reminded of the afternoon tea booth under the grandstand.
