THE VICTORIOUS TRIUMPH. WONDERFUL. OF SUC-j OESSES ON TRIUMPH MOT-) OR OTCJLES. I At the H.B. Motor Cycle Club's sports held on the Hastings Racecourse on Boxing Day, the Triumphs again practically &wept the board. Out of am entry of 12 machines representing 5 different makes the Triumphs secured ten firsts, eeveir seconds, and 4 thirds out of a possible eleven events*. This performance is all the more remarkable when it is considered tihat 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 J. L. Braithwaite left for Wellington on his Triumph motor cycle to make an attempt oni the existing figures of the Wellington to Napier record—viz., Shrs 35min., established by Mr H. L. Schaeffer on New Year's Day, 1909, also on ft Triumph. In spite of several attempts on other makes of machines, this record, has stood to the credit of the Triumph for three years. Ma* Brathwaite 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., his time being 6hrs. 38min., Towering the orevioUiS record by nearly two hours.
