MAJOR NEW ZEALAND CYCLE RACING FIND

I have just secured these historic
 photographs of George Sutherland, one of New Zealand's
first cycling stars.
Also this fantastic photo of Sutherland, racing the 
African American track star Major Taylor
As you can see the photos all are in need of
restoration. I will post some better photos when this has been completed.

 George Sutherland 1900
 Sutherland and Marshall Taylor 
Christchurch 1907
The great Marshall Major Taylor in action


 I haven't been able to identify this rider yet.
I am hoping some research might unearth some details.
