RECORDS BROKEN ON A MATCHLESS. In Wellington M.C.C. hill climb last week a 3? h.p. Matchless wiped the floor with every other machine opposed to it. The course was one on which slreer horse-power would tell, being perfectly straight and excessively steep. TliC report says:—"ln all heats and the final the Matchless started like a shot lrom a gun, and completely outclassed everything, up to and including all the 7 h.p. machines. It made fastest time of the day and record for the hill." This is the fourth successive win in the North Island in four competitions, a side car trial, two hill climbs, and a race on the Hat. Be it noted that no other 3| h.p. motor cycle got aryvhere near the Matchless in the Wellington hill climb, the next fastest machines being of foreign make, with engines more than twice as large as the Matchless.
