1500 MILES IN SX DAYS ON A MOTOR CYCLE. Some wonaeTfuL ride« have been 1 aocomplilhed on the modera motor oycOte, but no performance has ever j been' recorded in. the colbnfie© of llong ! distance endurance riding that can compare with Mir Dehdy's recent performance. On Mora/day, the 20th November last, Mr Dendy, a Canterbury motor cyc&t, started out on 'bis record rum to cover 1500 miles in. sax days, and tihe maximum riding time in e&chi day nob to exceed 12 hours. The route chosen was from Christchurcihi to ! Iriivercargiil. Excitement grew very intense when it was made known that Dendy had covere/j 1110 miltes up till 8 a.m. on FrkJ* -.light, and it waß arguediby "^f- 1 i.nowni critics that to compl'* l ' t. 1500 miles on Saturday's .. of twelve- hours would mean that Dendy had to ride 390 miles at am average speed of 32 miles an hour, a seemingly Eimposisibli l task, over mottnitaimis, tussock roads, and through river heds and water races. It ais only first class material aaid workmamship that can come through tests like there with flying col tuns, and just as the clock was stfl.iLking eight, dead on time, and in the presenioe of fchousandiS' of spectators', Dendy arrived, tired, weary, and travel stained, having accomplflhed hifi great rode witbxxutt one mechanical stop or adjustment, +he pntty trouble experienced being one puncture. Dendy rode a 1911 model 3£ h.p. Premier motor cycle. Immediate delivery can he give*, ot these . famous machines. Large stocks' to- choose t.wm. TOURIST MOTOR QO., Ltd., HASITNGS'.
