INSTANTANEOUS SUCCESS OP THE 4-H.P. TRIUMPH AT CHR3BTCHURCH. The first shipment of the new 1914 model Triumph motor cycle, 4.-h.p. 3speed machines arrived in Christchurch on Thursday last, and by 1 p.m. on Saturday all had been sold, and orders still flocking in. We had been led to expect something of especial merit in the 1914----model, but the reality has surpassed both oair own expectations and those oE our clients. The running of the 1914 4-h.p. is a perfect revelation even to those who had experience of the flexibility and ready response to control of the ' 1913 3-speed Triumph. The increase in engine power provides a very, big reserve of power for the side-car user, and as excellent as the 3sJi.p.; Triumph, was as a side-car machine, the- 4-h.p. is stifl better. As a solo machine it retains all the virtues of the lower powered' models and embodies several improvements, while it is also capable of higher speed. Of Triumph quality in general we need say nothing. Tt has proved in open competition in New Zealand on t^corea of occasions, the latest of which was tho winning of the North Island Fifteen Mile Champion Raco. conducted under the auspices of the Ma.naw-.atu Motor Cyclist's Club on Jan. 22. 1014. Tho - second shipment is now to hand and wo can {rive immediate delivery of tho 4-h.p. 1914 Triumph fitted with the celebrated Sturmey-Arehor three-speed "ear. "ADAMS LTD., A Rent 5, WANGANUI.
