NORTON TRIUMPHS AND GIVES WOODS NEW T.T. RECORD.

Douglas (10.M.), June 10.

Woods won the Senior T.T. in 1926 and was third last year. To-day he outpaced the most talented field that has ever contested a motor-cycling road race. After his victory he was congratulated by Prince George, who had been an interested spectator of the race, and who later presented the trophies.
