GENEKAIi BUSINESS “ The public will soon discriminate between good and bad American, as they have learned already to do between good and bad English. It is absurd for English makers to hug themselves in the belief that good American bicycles aro not as good as English.”—Scottish Cyclist, 2Gth August, 1596. JUST LANDED, A SHIPMENT OF LADIES’ WALTHAMS, STEEL RIMS AND DUNLOP TYRES. Prick, £24. THE Exhibition Track records for half, live and ten miles were made by Mr Fred Hunt on a Waltham. The last mile of the ten-mile record was ridden in 2mm 2/seo, only a fraction slower than the mile record of the track. Racing men know a good BiCi’de when they see it. We have had enquiries from all parts of Now Zealand for Waltham racers. ALL DAYTON PURCHASERS HAVE THE SAME STORY TO TELL-No breakdowns on 241 b weight Daytons, and all highly pleased with their machines. Wellington, sth December, 1596. Messrs WILKINS & FIELD. ~ Sirs, — I have much pleasure in saying a word in favour of_ your Dayton machine. 1 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 had not oven a bolt loosened. I nave no hesitation in saying that the Dayton i? a first class machine. Yours truly, JACK STEADMAN. Wellington, 2nd December, 1895. Gentlemen,—The Dayton Machine T purchased some.time ago has given me the utmost satisfaction. I have had several trips in the Wellington Province, and otherwise h&vo 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,—l may say lam very pleased with the Dayton Bicycle, weighing 241 b, which I got from yon. I have given it a thorough trial, having ridden from WoodriUe to Napier, 100 miles over loose and rough roads, at record speed while pacing Mr W. 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, Marion, Ist December, 1896. F. HUNT. Wellington, 3rd December, 1896. Dear Sira, —I have been riding one of your Dayton Bicycles for some time back and have ridden some 2009 miles, including a ride over the Rimutakas to WoodriUe and back, w thout 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 23.J1b ; my weight is Yours truly, F. H, MEYER. Wellington, 3rd December, 1896. Bear Sirs, —The Dayton Bicyolo which I bought from you sometime back has given me every satisfaction. I have ridden the Dayton, which only weighs 23jlb, over some of fho roughest roads, and in every ride the machine has stood the teat well. * Yours truly, C. H. TWIST. Wellington, 3rd December, 1896. Gentlemen,—ln reply to your enquiry, I beg to state that with the exception of the front forks being slightly bent, ray Dayton Racer sustained ho damage from the collision on the Exhibition track last Saturday. As tbo 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.
