THE "TRIUMPH" MAKES GOOD AGAIN.
Thero ar<? athletes and hoi«eb, yes,, and motor oyiclles, that have their bad days and their good days. When all the condition© 'are just righifc they can, put up a very fine performance. iWith the man and the horso this wall alwia-js be the oassej biiit we surely jhia/ve a right to expect ia little more consistency from! a ■■•machine. We claim that the "Triimpih" is a consistently reliable tnotoal----•ydo,' taiid in proof of -that oorasistemcy we dba't have to go further back or ' any further afield than the toetaah racesconducted in* this district dimn|g th© season opened a few weeks &sy». At every On© of these meetings, the- "Triumph." has to be to the fore, and Sa-t-TiTiday's events .were no exception, to the r.u'le. In the 10 anile evenit, F, Haworth, on a "Triumph," estalbfl/ihed. a fresh single-cylinder .record far the distance, <braveMing at a. rate of over 54 miles a,n hour. If the 50 males event A. J. Fiichs, ia 14-®ton© (rider, on a fully equipped roadster "Triumph" weighing 2121^., was first, and H E. Douglas, also on ia two and a half yearsold " Triumph," Ibroke the 50 mile record' by 5 minoubes, onlakinig tihe»f astesb -time in the nace, and ibeaiting fcba itwinn cylinder machines and nunming seooaid. We might «om&rk that the ofaiaillenge issued by the well-kmawn " Tuiuanjph"" rider, Mr.G. B. Brown, some itiane ago to undertake ia hill climibinjg oottwpeitition against any machine of any -power on eithea- the Paetokariki Hill tfNortHi Island), or planner Hill (South-fljsftanid), far £10, the sum to foe (given to some cha-rity,, has not yet been iaocejplfced. This is an indication that the "Triumph" is just as consistent land a-eliaiblei on' hills >as on the flat. The new " Triumph" sells as follows: Fixed engine, £70; free engine £80; three-speed, £85.
