TWO DAYS' TRIAL

HAWERA TO HAMILTON

' The New* Plymouth Motor Cy6le Club had before it at a meeting held last evening a suggestion from the Hawera : Motor Cycle Club .that three represenI tatives from each . club?-should meet with the object of arranging for a j two days' trial between Hawera and Hamilton. ! , : The secretary explained that the j trial was. the outcome of a suggestion lat the recent conference. The Hamilton Club would assist by taking control on the other side of the Mokau River.; It was, felt that a road test ; was the only true indication to the buying, public of the merits of the dif- : ferent machines. jThere would be no. expense incurred by the club, but the ■ trial would be self-supporting,, as support was anticipated from members of i the trade-. A 50-guinea gold cup "bad been offered to the club for 3. 24-hour ' reliability trial some years, ago, and noWji with, the assistance of Hawera ■ and Hamilton, the conditions allotted to the cup could be fulfilled, and application had accordingly been made. The idea was to make the cup if or | teams' 1 competitions and., not for -inj, diyiduals^J The trials were to be held between CJirisamas and New Year, and would be ?open to any riders. Riders at Palmerston North and Feildirig were very keen. r V The opinion of the meeting was in favour of the scheme, and it was resolved to invite the Hawera Club tfcb confer^ with the New f Plymouth Club at a picnic to be held at Lepperton on i" Sunday. In the event of ( this arj rangement not being suitable the club 'decided to send' three representatives to Stratford to meet the Hawera representatives, Messrs. Goodacre, Townsley and F. Smith being appointed delegates'-—News. " r
