1500 MILES IN SIX DAYS ON A MOTOR CYCLE. Some •wonderful rides have been aocomplilhed on. the modern motor oycflb, but no performance- has ever been recoirded in tihe colonies' of Hong distance endurance riding that can compare wiith Mr Deady's recent performance. On Monday, the . 20th November last, Mr Dendy, a Canterbury motor cyolast, started out on has record ruin to cover .1500 males in. six days, and tihe masimnwni riding time in each.' day no* to exceed 12 hours. The route chossem. wais' from Ohiistdhurchi to Iniveroargiillt. Excitement grew very intense •when it wa-s made known that Dendy had covered 1110 mites up tiW 8 a.in. on Friday night, and it was argued Iby well' knowm critics that to complete the 1500 miles on Saturday's' run. of twelve hours would mean that Dendy had' to rdde 390 miles at an average .speed of 32 miles an hour, a seemingly aanpossiWlk task, over tmountailriis, tussock roads, and through river beds and water races. It tus- only first class material and workmanship that can come tihrough tests like these with flying cdkyurs, and just as the clock was striiking eight, dead on time, and hi the presence or thousamd'S' of spectators, Dendy arrived, tired, weary, and travel; stained, having accomplished his great nide -without one mechanical stop or .adjustment, +he ontty trouble experienced being one puncture. , Dendy rode a 1911 model 3£ h.p. Premier motor cycle. . ■ Immediate delivery can l be givan. til these (famous marines. stocks' tto< choose from. TOURIST MOTOR CO., Ltd., HASTINGS' Sol© Agents for New Zealand. R.
