THE VICTORIOUS TRIUMPH. WONMSKiFIJIi OF SUCCESSES ON TRIUMPH MOTOR CYCLES. At the H.B. Motor Cycle Club'ssports (held on the Hastings _ Racecourse on Boxing Day, the Triumph® again practically swept the board. Out of an entry of 12 machines representing 5 different makes. tihe Triumph's secured ten firsts, seven seconds, and 4 thirds out of a possible eleven eventsThis performance is all the more remarkable when- it is considered Uhat the Triumphs 1 had to concede large handicaps to machines of equaJ power and six of the ten first uies were .ridden by amateur ndejs. On Saturday, December 30th, Mr J, L. Braithwaite left for Wellington on his Triumph motor cycle to make an attempt oni the existing figures or the Wellington to Napier recordviz., Bhrs 3omin., established by Mr H. L. Schaeffer on New Year's Day, 1909, also on ft Triumph. In. spite of several atffcempts on other makes or machines, this' record has l stood to the credit, of the Triumph for three vears. Mr Rrathwaite left the Wellington. Post Office at 4.20 a.m. on New Year's Day, and arrived at the Napier Post Office at 10.57 a.m., hia time being 6hrs. 38min., the previous record by nearly t ; wo hours.
