MOTOR-CYCLING
ROTORUA RELIABILITY TRIAL From Our Own Correspondent ROTORUA, Tuesday. The Rotorua Motor-Cycle Club held a reliability trial on Subday, there being nine competitors. The course was one of 31 miles, round Lake Rotorua, and the heavy rains made the road into an ideal one for such an event. The Hamurana-Mourea stretch is a new clay road covering hills, bends, sharp turns and mud —feet of it! The following checker men were stationed at secret points:—Messrs A do Luen. D. and R. Beckett, C. Tattersail, A. E. Adolph, J. Archer and J. J. Lewis, and were the committee in charge of all arrangements. All riders crashed at points on the trip, marks being recorded by the check men for all phases of riding. The winner of the event was P. Basham, X. Wilkins being second, gaining trophies presented by J. J. Lewis and A. E. Adolph respectively. Apologies were received from Tauranga and Whakatane clubs, rain keeping them off the nasty roads separating them from Rotorua.
