THE VICTORIOUS TRIUMPH. WONDERFUL 'BBCXKBD OF SUCM CESSES - ON k TRIUMPH MOTOR CYCLES. At the H.B. Motor Cycle Club's sports held: on the Hastings Racecourse on Boxing Bay, the Triumphs again practically swept the board. Out of;;an entry of 12 machines representing 5 different makes the Triumphs secured ten. firsts, seven seconds, and 4 thirds oust of a possible eWea event®. This./performance is all the more remarkable when it is con&iflered •dhall the' Triumphs had to concede large handicaps to machines of equal power and six of the ten first, machines were ridden by amateur riders.
