When nskod whether ho would certify officially that they were world's records , ho Paid he could not do so. Ho believed them to bo world's records , but hnd no documents to sustain his belief. Mr Mott nnjfl he saw that It wan n hardship , both for the promoter , who went to the expense of providing pacer * , and for the man who made the records , to ha\o the matter left uncertain , luid'ho wrote to Secretary Slur- rupler to Inquire whether there was not some way of milling the matter , Mr. Sturmeler nuggrsta that each organization send htm Itn olllclal records on January 1 of each icar.
