A WONDERFUL MACHINE.
The most valuable and instructive form of trial for motor cycles is undoubtedly the hill-ciimbing test. The ntrains imposed are exceptionally severe, and even on a short route the whole machine is very thoroughly tested. Four hill-climbing tests have been held in various parts of New Zealand this year, and in each of them the first awards have gone to the "Triumph." JNine out of the ten first prizes went to "Triumph" riders —a wonderful and unique competitive record. The most recent addition to the long list of "Triumph , successes is the winnir.g of the Hislop Cup, awarded for the best all-round performance on the run from Dunedin to Naseby and back. The competitors had to make the run four times before a final decision was arrived at. On each occasion the "Triumph" machine carried the winner, and at the third run three "Triumphs'' tied for .first place! On the fourth trial, which was decided on petrol consumption, the winning "Triumph" ran an average of 170 miles to the gallon I The reasons for this consistent and unbroken line oi competitive successes are to be found in the perfect design and honest construction of every part of the "Triumph" machine.
