INTERNATIONAL VICTORY FOR THE B.S.A. MOTOR-CYCLF

During the comparatively short period that has elapsed since its first appearance on the market, the B.S.A. motor-cycle has rapidly forged its way ahead, until to-day it stands in the very forefront of single cylinder machines. The B.S.A. scored its latest and most crushing triumph in the greatest motor-cycle competition yet organised, the Paris-Nice trial of over 667 miles. All the leading British and Continental motor-cycles were" represented. The most valuable prize was that given by the President of the French Republic for the smallest engine with side-car to complete the journey, and this coveted distinction fell to the B.S.A. The B.S.A. also won the La Turbie hill-climb, beating machines of mxich higher power, and the Flying Kilometer event for 3^ h.p. machines with side-cars. Only two B.S.A.'s competed in the Paris-Nice trials, and both came through without losing a single mark, winning gold medals. The B.S.A. was the only machine to finish in the 3 V 2 h.p. single-cyclinder class and in the 800 c.c. side-car class, the only two classes in which it was entered. The B.S.A. is a consistent performer, and it will do as good work and as reliable service in New Zealand as in the Old World, as we have proved on occasion. Come and see the new models.. Two-speed £85; free-engine. £80; fixed engine £70. Adams, Ltd., sole agents for B.S.A. motor-cycles. Avenue, Wanganui.
