THE "TRIUMPH" MAKES GOOD AGAIN. / fThere are atthlLetes and horses, yes, and motor cycles, that have their bad days and their good days. Wlren all the conditions a/re just rigiht they can put, up a very fine performance. With the man. .and the horso this will always be the case, but we surely have a right to expect a little ■more consistency from a machine. We claim that the "TtiJjnph" is a consistently reliable motorcycle, and in proof of that consistency we doin't have to go further back or any further afield than the beach races conducted in this district during the season opened a few weeks Bfgo. At every one of these meetinjgs, the " Triumiph" ihos to be to the fore, and! Saturday's events were no exception to the r-ulJ©.. In the 10 anile eyenifc, F. Haworth, on a"Triumph," established a fresh sangle-eyliader.record for the diistain.ee, traveling at a , rate of over 54 miles an 'hour. If the 50 miles' event A. J. Fuchs, ta 14-« tone rider, on a. fully equipped roadster "Triumph" weighing 2121b5., was first, and H. E. Douglas, also on a two and a. half years i old "Triumph," 'broke the 50 mile record by 5 minoites, making the fastest time in the nace, and ;beajtimg the ibwiocylinder machines andl nunnang second. We might are/mark that tihe challenge issued by the well-known " TViiuraupti" rider, Mr G. B. Brown, some titae ago to. undertake a hill climibing ooanipetition against any machine of any /power an either the Paefaaik&riki Hill" (North Island), or Sumner Hill (South Idtand), for £10, the sum to Ibe" (given to some charity, has no* yet been accented. This is an indication that the "Triumph" is just as consistent and reliable: on hills as on the flat. The new "Triumph" soils as follows: Fixed engine, £70; (free, engine. £80; three-«peed, £85.
