In the his tory of the Northwest. Dividing honors with M. C. Reefer's midget speeder, the phenomenal work of Adam G., the 15-year-old double galted son of McKinney, was probably even more remarkable than the three heat conquest by Bernice R. First a trotter, then a livery-stable servant, then a pacer with a record of 2:064 on the Portland track two years ago, the veteran "came back" as a trottar yes terday, forcing Bernice R. to break a record In order to win the final heat of the Portland classic Bad Start Made.

He" took two straight heals, with Aeroletta second and The Co-Kd, a daughter of College Maid, the guide less pacer, a good third. Co-Ed looked like a winner in the first heat, but an automobile frightened her and a bad break sent ber from first position to last. Derby Ulnarr Appear.

Just outlasting the fast-stepping Anna Phaeon in the proverbial nose finish. The day was an ideal one for fast racing and a crowd of J500 turned out for the Portland day programme. The ' fields were large, the time fast over the splendid course and the plastering of a number of fines on careless drivers soon gave Starter McXair complete command over the fields.

That it never rains but it pours. seems aptly illustrated in the case of the city- employes Just now. An ordi nance proposing -to pay them twice a month, instead of once a month, was detested in the City council session Wednesday, and now the calendar comes in with another big body blow. The "ghost" should walk at the City Hall the first of the month, but be cause of the arrangement of things by tho calendar man there will be noth ing doing until September 3. Sunday Is the first of the month and Monday is a legal holiday. Labor day, so the employes of the municipal gov ernment must wait until Tuesday for "theirs."

The Council met Wednes day and will meet again today; seven committees of the Executive Board held their sessions yesterday; today the Board will meet at 4 P. M. At 9:30 A. M. tomorrow the Board, of Health will meet and at 11 A. M. the Park Board will have its session. WEST NAMES M. H.
