Out of an entry of 12 machines representing 5 different make& the Triumphs secured ten firsts, seven seconds, and 4 thirds on* of a possible eleven events. This performance is all the more 'remarkable when it is oonsifiered tihat the Triumphs had to concede large handicaps to machines of equaJ , p©wer and six of the ten first maoh-1 mes were ridden by amateur riders, i On' Saturday, December 30th, Mr I J.
