TOUR WINNER TAKES FIFTH STAGE.—A final burst in his home town gives D. R. Brown (New Plymouth) the gruelling 117-mile fifth stage from Otorohanga to New Plymouth and lifts him from tenth to first in the over-all classification in the ninth Dulux six-day cycling race. It was the only stage that the 19-year-old, Brown won but a series of consistent performances enabled him to win the tour by 3min 3sec from D. .1. Gee (Wellington). It was Brown’s first ride in the Dulux tour although he has represented New Zealand on the road. The other rider is B. Pascoe (Waikato), who finished the tour in tenth place.
