This time, 41.1 seconds under the record set by Mrs. T. H. Sommerville’s Troublemaker in 1932, virtually would have constituted a world record for the distance over jumps. Charles B. Reeves, secretary of the Maryland Hunt Cup Committee, announced following s con- ference with sponsors of the race that the official time for 1933 will stand as| 9:07.1. Three of the five watches kept on the race last week clocked the win- ner at that figure, but the watches of Dr. M. J. Cromwell, timekeeper, and his assistant, J.
