The weight of evidence viewed from a strictly impartial standpoint, remains wholly in favour of the Indian iotocycle as the actually successful machine in the recent Side-Car Reliability Trials. .njjfjf C 3j cle and Motor Co. entered and pinned their faith’ on ONE INDIAN only, and found that amply .sufficient. Our opponents sought fialety in numbers and therefore entered SIX! In each and everv tUtei ‘Q.'f?™” effected a l-OM-STOP RUN, thereby demonstrating theiraLS reliability Our opponents failed utterly to reproduce any corresponding evidence of such true reliability. ° “ INDIANS” showed no trace of structural defects or faults at the conclusion of any trial. this was admitted by the Judge. “INDIANS” could have and were willing to undertake the same journey again without any adjustment. Could any other machine have done this? No examination was made as to the condition of the engines, and a machine finishing with stripped gears or other internal defects might easily secure the prize against another whoso engine was in perfect condition the final decision was made not upon the condition of the machines or unon structural, internal, or other faults, hut upon the unavoidable presence of a few drops of oil upon the engmo. 1 01 a Sucli a decision was a manifest absurdity; M well might the Judge hare mud^ol’tlJ W. ° &mSh ' ne "' ill ‘ le lGast dust ° r “f Look at some of the “ Indian ” performances for fortnight ending January 10, 1920NAPIER, DECEMBER 29th Monster Handicap, 15 lap—E.
