(BV TEtEGRAPH —OWN CORRESPONDED). ' Auckland, Last Night. MnJ. Sklbv, the well-known 'cyclist, attempted his record ride from Hamilton East to Auckland to-day, and despite the fact that the road above Mercer was very muddy, greatly interfering with the bicyclist, while lie had also to wade through water carrying his machine between Hnntly and Mercer, he accomplished the journey in 10 hours 45 minutes. This is a splendid performance, Snlby loft Buxton's Royal H»tel, Hamilton Eist, where he stayed on Tuesday niijht, at 4 this morning and ho arrived in Newton at 14 minutes to three this' afternoon. Selby's time compares favourably with that made by Lord Burford, who occupied nine hours over the same distance and had several relays of horses.
