RECORDS BROKEN ON A . MATCHLESS. In Wellington M.C.C. hill climb last week a 3$ h.p. Matchless wiped the fi*or with every other machine opposed to it. The course was one on which steer horse-power would tell, being perfectly straight and excessively steep. The report says:—"ln all heals and the final the Matchless started like a shot irom a gun, and completely outclassed everything, up to and incJuding all the 7 h.p. machines. It made fastest time of the day and record for the hill." This is the fourth successive vin in the North Island in four competitions, a side car trial, two hill climbs, and a race on the flat. Be it noted that no other 3J h.p. motor cycle got ar.y--yvhere 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.
