THE VICTORIOUS TRIUMPH. WONDERFUL. &SUORD OF SUCCESSES ON TRIUMPH MOTOR CYCLES. At the H.B. Motor Cycle CLvh'm sports (held on the Hastings Racecourse on Boxing Day, the Triumph* again praotioallj wept the board. Out of an entry of 12 machine© representing 6 different makes the Triumph® secured ten. firsts, seven seconds; and' 4 itHdirds out of a possible eleven, events. This' performance is all the more remarkable when it i&: considered tlhat the Triumphs had to concede large handicaps to machines of equal power and sis of the ten first machines, were (ridden by amateur ridem On Saturday. December 30th, Mr J. L. Braithwaite left for Wellington on his Triumph motor cycle to make an attonipt oni-.the existing figure* of the Wellington to Napier record—viz., Bhrs 35min., established by Mr H. L. Schaeffer on New Year's Day, 1909, also on * Triumph. In spite of several attempts on other makes of machines, this record has ■stood to the'credit of the Triumph for three years. Mr Brathwaite left the Wellington Post Office at 4.20 a.m. on New Year's' Day, and arrived at tbe Napier Post Office at 10.57 a.m., his time being 6brs. 38min., Towering the previous record by nearly two hours. The Triumph ran perfectly jErom start to finish, the only two stops being to take in petrol and oil. It is' only perfect machines made from the finest material procurable that can average 33£ miles an. hour over 230 miles of New Zealand roads. Those who were at the Napier Post Office at the finish couKl not help but.(remark on the perfect condition ofV the machine at the finish. The Triumph is not only made for machine for hard work and long wear, and is perfectly adapted to New Zealand roads. We can deliver both fixed and free engine modela from stock, and would be pleased to - give trial runs to intending purchasers' at all! times.
