RECORDS BROKEN ON A MATCHLESS. In Wellington M.C.C. liill climb last week a oA li.p. Matchless wiped the lloor with every other machine opposed to it. The course was one on which sheer liorse-power would tell, being perfectly straight and excessively steep. The report says: —"In all heats and the final the Matchless started like a shot from a gun, and completely outclassed everything, up to and including all the. 7 li.p! machines. It made fasteso time of 'the day and record for the hill." This is the fourth successive win in the North Island in four compactions, a side car trial, two hill climbs, and a race on the flat. Be it noted that no other o\ li.p. motor cycle got anywhere near the Matchless in the Wellington hill climb, the next fasted, machines being of foreign make, v'rli engines more than twice as large u tho Matchless.
