For Children's Hacking Cough at Night, Woods' Great Peppermint Cure, Is 6d, 2s 6d. THE VICTORIOUS TRIUMPH. ——• —T—WONDERFUL. KSOORD OF SUCV CESSES ON TRIUMPH MOTOR CYCLES. At the H.B. Motor Cycle dub'* sports held on the Hastings Racecourse- on Boxing Day, tihe Triumph* ftg#in' practically wept the board. Out of an entry of 12 machines representing 5 different makes tihe Triumphs secured ten, firsts, seven seconds, and 4 thirds out of a possible eleven event®. 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 eix of the ten first machines were ridden by amateur rider®. On .Saturday, December 30th, Mr. J. L. Braithwaite left for Wellington on his Triumph motor cycle to make an attempt ow the existing figures of the Wellington to Napier record>— viz., Bhrs 85min., established by Mr H. L. Schaeffer on New Year's Day, 1909, also on a 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 aocn. on New Year's Day, and arrived at the Napier Post Office at 10.57- a.m., his time being Shrs. 38min., lowering the previous record by nearly two hours. The Triumph ran perfectly from start to finish, the only two stops being-to take in petrol and oil. It is only perfect machines made ftrom the finest material procurable that 'can average 33$ miles an hour over 230 milesi of New Zealand roads. _ Those who were at the Napier Post Office at the finish couTd not help hut remark on the perfect condition of the machine at the finish. The Triumph is not only made for speed. It has proved itself to he the machine for hard work and long wear, and is perfectly adapted to ! New Zealand roads. We pan deliver I both fixed and free engine models ' from stock, and would be pleased to give trial runs to intending purchasers at alt times.
