CYCLING AND MOTOR NOTES.

As predicted, Harry Jenkins, the crack Victorian amateur motor cyclist, gave the motor cyclists of the Mother State a taste of his quality at the N.S.W. Motor Cycle Club’s Annual Championship meeting, held in Sydney last week. Jenkins started in four events, won three, and would have captured the fourth only for the belt of his machine breaking, when he had the event at his mercy. The principal race, won by Jenkins, was the Amateur Motor Cycle Championship of Australia, run over a distance of two miles, and won by nearly half a lap. J. E. Yee (on a similar machine to Jenkin’s 3% h.p. Triumph) ran second. In a subsequent match, New South Wales v. Victoria, Jenkins played with Yee and then romped home an easy winner in the last lap. No very fast times were recorded, the best being Jenkin’s 2min. 30 4-ssec. for 2 miles in his championship heat from a standing start. At the same meeting, Percy Mutton, the crack amateur N.S.W. track rider, made an effort to reduce A Smyth’s mile-paced record of Imin. 32 3-ssec. Mutton, who trailed his pace badly, could not do better than lmin. 36 l-ssec.
