THE "TRIUMPH" STILL ON TOP. Tho Christchurcli-Kaikoura-and-back record still stands to tlio credit of Mr. G. B. Brown and his full roadster "Tril umpli," at" l the new record made last Thursday has been buried almost as soon as it was bom under the crushing weight of two hours and twenty-ono minutes. The principal features of Air. G. B* Brown's great ride oil Saturday havo been given full publicity. Oil Bth February lio rode alone. Some capital was made out of the fact that 011 a previous occasion ho was accompanied by another rider, and, though tho precedent thus set has been followed in the subsequent attempts upon the record by riders of machines other than the "Triumph," Jfr. Brown decided, to-demonstrate "his faith in "Triumph" reliability by riding alone. He rode the same full roadster threespeed "Triumph" as he rode when lie established the record 011 January 17. The onlv difference in the conditions was that 110 lenew the road. It must be remembered that this Christchurch-Kaikoura ride was suggested by "Triumph" competitors presumably as n course 011 which their, machines had a better chance against the "Triumph" than any other. Tito courso evidently docs suit their machine—when their machine is going well—but it quite as ovidently suits the "Triumph" just as well, and a great deal better. So the result of this little sporting controversy lias been to establish the "Triumph"-as the best "cross-country" motor-cycle, as well as the best speed machine, the best machine for reliability, and the best for hill-climbing: Tho latest "Triumphs" aro now to hand; prices; fixed engine, iiTO; free engine. .£80) thrfre-spoed, JJB7 10s.
