INSTANTANEOUS SUCCESS OF THE 4-H.P. TEIUMPH AT CHR3BSTCHURCH. The first shipment of the new 1914 model Triumph motor cycle, 4.-h.p. 3speed machines arrived in Ohristchurch 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 our own expectations and those of 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 Inx engine power provides a veiy big re-^ serve of power for the side-oar user, and as excellent as the 3£-Ti.p. Triumph was as a side-car machine, the 4-h.p. is still 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 6peed. Of Triumph quality in general we need say nothing. It has proved in open competition in New Zealand on scores of occasions the latest of wihich was the winning of'the North Island Fifteen Mile Champion Race, conducted under the auspices of the Maibawatu Motor Cyclist's Club on Jan. 22. 1914. The second shipment is now to hand and we can give immediate delivery of the 4-h.p. 1914 Triumph fitted with the celebrated Sturmev-Archer three-speeds gear. * ADAMS LTD., Agents, WANGANUI.
