And Yet Another RECORD. When it comes t-o a matter of discussing the comparative reliability of various makes of motor cycle, ihe *inal test must bo admitted to be the longdistance non-stop run. The longer the distance, the ir.ore severe must bo the test. There is a distinction, too, between the professional who makes a business <jf making re.-ords aud the 6very-duy umut-ur rider who is not an encycloput-diu 'jii u!i the ills a motor is heir to. Bearing theJe fact* ill mind, the performance put u:> by Mr \V. G. Coniptoii. who yesterday rode through fug and rain and over bad reads from Invercargill to Chr:stchuri'h. a distance of about 400 miles, actual mileage or, this particular journey, in -Oiir. Smin. is valuable as showing how remarkably reliable a machine a modem motor-cycle is. Ot course, there are motor-cycles and motor-cycles. Mr C'ompton rede a "Triumph" 35-h.p. machine, which he has owned for the past nine months, and covered over 10.000 miles upon it in that period. He made the trip as & combination, sporting and business ride. He had to come to Christchurch from Invercargill in pursuance of his duty as an inspector of insurances, and he put tip this grand performance absolutely without any organisation or assistance. He did not lose a second on the road through, mechanical troubles. In his own words. " I never even had to take out the spark-ing-plug." The conditions of the new record were the most severe yet imposed on a motor-driven vehicle in this country. The machine stood the test. Messrs Adams. Ltd., have a large stock of these test-proof machines in their Timaru shop, and will be pleased to show you just the how and why of their excellence. ADAMS LIMITED. STAFFORD STREET. TIMARU.
