By Ttltgraph—Om Corrcipondtxt.-gi II Greytown North, Wednesday® 3 Convincing evidence of the ease 6 with which ground is covered by J capable bicyclists, was offered by Mr IV Sam Robinson, Secretary of the Cola lier Two-speed Company, who leav■o ing Wellington at 7 o'clock in the ' !' morning arrived atGreytown at half--1 past five tho sarao ovouing not in tho least fatigued. I Taking the Lower Valley road at r Featherston, Mr Robinson made a >• detour to Maryborough, coming on horo by tho Morrison's Bush road. Considering that he stopped to do business at both Featherston and < Maryborough, and that every mile of tho journey was made on lub biko, Mr Robinson's feat of riding from j Wellington to Greytown via MartinI borough in eleven hours is decidedly , an achievomont worth noting.
