THE VICTORIOUS TRIUMPH. WONDERFUL RECORD OF SUCCESSES ON TRIUMPH MOTOR CYCLES. At the H.B. Motor. Cycle Club's sports held on the Hastings Racecourse on Boxing Day, the Triumphs again practically swept the board. Out of an, entry of 12 machines representing 5 difierent makes the Triumphs secured/ten/firsts, seven seconds, and 4 thirds' out of a possible eleven events., This performance is all the more remarkable when it is considered /tlhat the Triumphs had to concede '•large handicaps to machines of equal power and six of the ten. first machines were ridden by .amateur riders. On Saturday, December 30th, Mr ,T. L. Braithwaite left for Wellington on his Triumph motor cycle to make an attempt out the existing figures of the Wellington, to Napier record—viz.. Bhrs established by Mr H: L. Schaeffer on New Year's Day, 1909, also on a Triumph. In spite of several attempts on other makes of miachiines, this record has stood to the credit of the Triumph for three vears. Mr Bra'thwaite left the Wellington Post Office at 4.20 a.m. o<n New Year's Day, and, arrived, at the Napier Post Office at 10.57 a.m., his time being Gtors. 38min... lowering the previous, record by nearly two hours. The Triumph ran perfectly from start to finish, the only two stops beino- to take in netrol and oil. It is onlv perfect machines made from the finest material procurable that can average 33} miles an hour over 930 miles "of New Zealand roads. _ " 'Chose who were «4> the Napier Post Office at the finish could not ih'el'p but remark on the perfect condition of the machine at the nnasn. The Triumph' is mot only made for speed. It has proved itself to be the machine for (hard work and long wear, and is perfectly adapted, to New Zealand roads. We can deliver both fixed aii.i free engine models from stock, and would he pleased to o-ive trial runs to intending purch- ... a.ser'3 at all times. / TOURIST MOTOR CO., LTD., - Sole Agents for Triumph and B.b.A.
