THE '"TRIUMPH" MAKES GOOD AGAIN.
There are athletes and horses, • yes, and molx>r cycles,-that have their bad days and their good days. When all the conditions are just right they can. put up a veiry fine performance. iWith .the man and the horeo this will always be the case, but we surely *haye a right to expect a little more consistency £.rom a machine. We claim that the "Triimph" is a consistently reliiabl© motorcycle, and in proof of that [consistency we dooi'jt have to go further back o>r any further afield than the 'beiaeh races conducted in this district during the season opened a few weeks ago. At. every one of these meetings, .the " Triumph" has to be to the fore, and Saturday's events /were no exception to the rule. In the 10 anile event, F. Haworth, ona "Triumph," estalblashed A fresh single-cylinder..reicond for the distance, teavelMng at a> rafe of over 54 miles a,n 'hour. If ,th© 50 miles event A. J. Fuchs, la Mnsfcone rider, on a fully , equippted (roadster "Triumph" weighing 21211>5., was fii-st, and H. B. Douglas, also on ia tiro and a hialtf years old "Itiumph," broke .the 50 mile record by 5 mdnorbes, imiakiing Hhe fastest td'me in _ the nace, and ibeajting- th© towin>cylinder matchines and inuiindng BQcond. We might r/emJark that tihe cihiaillengo issued by the Tvell T kniOiwn, "Ti-ftuonph" rider, Mr G. B. Biwn, eomia itime ago to undertake a hill icKmjbinjg oomxpetition against any machine of any (potwer an either the Paekdfaarik'i Hill Mortlh Island), or Sumner Hill (South ffsdanid), far £10, the sum to be given, to some charity,, has not yet been accepifced. This is an indication that the "TriuimpJi" is just as consistent amd xeliaiblei on' hills as on the flait. The new " Trdumph" sgils as foilonve: Pixed engine, £70: (free engine, £80; three-speed, £85. Adams, .Ltd., the Avenue, Wanganui.
