Bourne will have the honour of being the first holder of the Sternol Cup. Bourne has proved himself a very versatile rider, being equally at home in trials, hill climbs, beach, and T.T. races. The winners of the other cups are:Rosengrave Cup, for 350 c.c. T.T. championship, J. Bourne: miniature cun for 350 c.c. hill climb, J. Bourne: miniature cup for 500 c.c. hill climb, N. B. Newton; miniature cup for unlimited hill climb, A. Veale; McCleary Cup for 50mile beach race, L. Evans; ; Carpenter Cup for 50-mile beach race, fastest time, /L. Evans. The' cups will be presented at the annual meeting to take place shortly. The moral of the following incident will probably be of some use to touring motor-cyclists:—A member of the club returning by road from the West Coast last Week met two motor-cyclists stranded at the Cass river with a broken rear chain and a handful of connecting links of the correct chain size but of another make .of chain.
