asxra&Ai. suszrsss The public discriminate between good and bad American, as they have learned already to do between pood and bad English. It is absurd for Engluh makers to bus? themselves in the belief that pood American bicycles are not as pood as E nglish.”—Scottish Cyclist. 26th August, 1898. JUST; LANDED, A SHIPMENT OF . LADIES’ WALTHAMS, STEEL RIMS AND DUNLOP TYRES. Peics, .£24. THE Exhibition Track records for half, five and ten miles wore made by Mr Fued Hunt on a Waltham. The last mile of the ton-mil© record was ridden in 2min 27scc, only a fraction slower than the mile record of the track. Racing men know a good Bicycle when they sec it. Wo have bad enquiries from all parts of New Zealand for Waltham racers. ALL DAYTON PURCHASERS HAVE THE SAME STORY TO TELL—No breakdowns on 241 b weight Daytons, and all highly nleaaed with their machines. Wellington, sth December, 1806. Messrs WILKINS & FIELD. Sirs, —I have much pleasure in saying a word in favour your Dayton machine. I have ridden one for the past four months, and on the same machine have just finished a 500mile trip, which extended from Wellington to Napier and Poverty Bay District and back, via Palmerston North. In the whole journey I bad not oven a bolt loosened. I have no hesitation in saying that the Dayton, is a first class machine. Yours truly, JACK STEADMAN. Wellington. 2nd December. 1896. Gentlemen, —The Dayton Machine I purchased some timoago has given mo the utmost satisfaction. I have had several trips in the Wellington Province, and otherwise have had opportunities of forming a judgment. My old machine weighed 361 b, and travelled like a steam roller compared with the ease of propelling the 241 b Dayton. Yours truly, ARTHUR McKEE (of Messrs McKee & Gamble). Dear Sirs, —I may say lam very pleased with the Dayton Bioycle, weighing 241 b, which I got from yon. I have given it a thorough trial, having ridden from Woodville to Napier, 100 miles over loose and rough roads, at record speed while pacing A. Thomson in his Wellington to Napier record I did not find it necessary.to oil or adjust any part during the ride, which was a splendid test for the machine. I am, yours truly, Marton, Ist December, 1896. F. HUNT. Wellington, 3rd December, 1896. Dear Sirs, —I have been riding one of your Dayton Bicycles for some time back and have, ridden some 2000 miles, including a ride over the Rimutakas to Woodville and back, w thont a single mishap, and can certify that the Dayton is the finest machine in the market both for easy running and wear. My machine weighs 23ilb ; my weight is about list. Yours truly, F. H. MEYER. Wellington, 3rd December, 1896. Dear Sirs, —The Dayton Bicycle which I bought from you some time back has given mo every satisfaction. X have ridden the Dayton, which only weighs 2311 b, over some of the roughest roads, and in every ride the machine has stood the tost well. Yours truly, C. H, TWIST, Wellington, 3rd December, 1896. Gentlemen, —In reply to your enquiry, I bog to state that with the exception of the front forks being slightly bent, my Dayton Racer sustained no damage from collision on the Exhibition track last Saturday, As tho machine is light (211 b) I consider that the manner in which it has survived its severe ordeal speaks volumes for its scientific construction and the quality of the materials used in its manufacture.
