AN UNBIASSED OPINION. The hanrilcapper In the recently held New Brighton Beach motor, cycle speed events, who Is considered an authority on the capabilities of the various makes of machines entered for this important event, is probably a little chagrined at the result of these races. Although he and most others with him reckoned that, in placing the Triumphs behind all other single-cylinder machines (in fact, they were placed on an equality with twincylinder motors of higher power), he had got them on a mark which would not allow them to beat all other singles so easily as they have usually done. But the best laid plans of mice and men “gang aft agley,” as the Scotch proverb says, and in this Instance very much so, as the Triumphs won first and second places in each race with the exception of the thirty-mile race. In which C. H. Harrison, riding the Triumph, only managed to get up In second place by the time the winning post was reached. However, there was consolation for him in the fact that hls time was faster than that of the winner, who was riding a special speed model of Tourist Trophy type. Harrison’s machine was the standard every-day model Triumph, and his performance was thus one that he can well be proud of. The enviable reputation of the Triumph has not been obtained by fluke performances, as It has a list of motor cycle successes to Its credit equal to that of all other makes of motor cycles put together. We do not ask you to believe it is the best motor cycle because we say so, but we back up what we claim with hundreds of successes gslnetl in reliability, hill climbing, and speod events held in all sorts of conditions in every part of the world, and we can refer you to hundreds of motor cyclists who have had practical experience with this motor, and who proclaim It to be a perfect motor cycle in every sense of the word.
