THE "TRIUMPH" MAKES GOOD AGAIN.

There are latthltotes and horses, yes, and motor cycles/ that have their bad days and their good days: Wh-ah all the conditions airo just rigiM they can put up a very fine perfornrajSce. 'With the man and the horso' tliis will always he the case, hint we surely halve a right to expect a little more consistency tfroin a machine.' /We claim tlia% ..the "Trinnph" ;fe a Oon.sisten% relabl© motorcycle, ami iA proof of. that consistency we dom't have.to go; further .back or any further afield than the beach races conducted in this district during fhe season opened a few weelqs ago. At every one of these, -meetinigs, the "Triumph., has to be to the fore, and Saturdays events were no exception to the rule. In the 10 mile evenrtv, P Haworfch, on a "Triumph," estalbMied a fresh single-cylinder record for the distance, traveling at a i^ate of over 5± miles an hour. If the 50 miles event A. J. luchs, ia 14-« tone rider, on a tally : equipped roaidster' "Trium/ph" weighing 2121bs. J was first, and HE i^W' aJso on ia'two ;a7l<l a'half yeiars old Triumph," ibrofce the 50 mile a-ecord by o inanutes, --miafcing the fastest time m *] ie race, and ibeafting the Jtnvin>cylinder machines and nucanang second. We might remark that the ohiaiUenffe lesiied by the well-known "Ibiumiph" rider, Mr G. B. Brwvn, some-tim© ago to undertake a hill clinubing coimpetition against any ■machine of any power an either the Paehatoanki HiJl ((Nortih Island) orSuuuiCT Hill (South Island), tor £10 the sum to be given to some clia-nty, has not yet been accepted. This is. an mdioation that the "Triumph" is just as consistent a;hd TeliaMe on hi Is as on the flat. The new " Triumiph" sells as follows : Fixed engine £70 • free engme £80; three-speedf^SS Adaml!
