Outstanding successes by Honda machines and rider Hailwood on first day

Douglas, June 12.

An unparalleled domination of the two lightweight solo events by the Japanese Honda machines and a fine double by the young English rider Mike Hailwood marked the first day of the Tourist Trophy races here today.

Hailwood, who celebrated his 21st birthday only just over a month ago, won both the light- weight races on Hondas at speeds which would have been thought unbelievable a year

ago.
