III. Sternberg won first time prize,
gold medal, and NJ. Friedman won q silver
medal for second best time. There were
also ten prizes for positions at the finish,
principally bicycle sundries, SO that nearly
every one got something for his efforts.
The Royal Club riders had finished the
course but few minutes when along
came the riders of the San Francisco Road
Club. This was a scratch race, and in
consequence the men were not very we'll
punched at the finish. Still it was nip
and tuck between some of them as to who
should be first in This honor fell to L.
Leavitt, who covered the distance in ID
minutes and SO seconds, being seconds
faster than the best time made in the
Royals race. Three of the San Francisco
riders covered the five miles under
fourteen minutes and six under fifteen,
as the following table will show:

OYER SIXTY LIVES LOST.

Tho Burstins OF y Reservoir In France
Spreads Death and Destruction.
PARIS. April 27.-The reservoir on the dyke of
the canal at Bouzzy, near Eplnal, gave way this
morning, sweeping away many houses with their
inmates.
Tho food quickly subsided and search for
the bodies of the dead was Immediately made.
Thus far the bodies Of thirty-sight victims of
the disaster have been recovered. Tho peouni-
ary damage will amount to several millions of
francs
The Bouzzy reservoir had . capacity Of 7.ooo.-
900 cubic metres. The torrent carried OF bod
lily some of the houses in the villages of Bouzzy.
Darnieulles, Uxegney. and Domevres. and
swamped many others, besides demolishing
walls, bridges, roads, crops, and farm buildings.
The railway between Epinal and Nancy is
deeply flooded. and breach has been made In
the road between Epinal and Chaumont As
sistance WAS sent from Nancy this forenoon. but
as yet 1t has been found impossible to reach the
point where the break was made.
The disaster occurred at O'Clock this morn
ing. The rush Of water through tho villages
was sudden that there was hardly any chance
TO escape. and many persons were drowned in
their beds. The number of deaths will exceed
sixty.
The Bouzzy reservoir fed tho southern
branch Of tho Eastern Canal The water fol-
lowed tho valley of the Aviere. The sudden ac-
cretion Of the canal burst It's banks. and the
water poured from 1t over six miles of country
until the channel was empty.
Tho torrent, hemmed in by high hills. rushed
down the valley like a bore, sweeping the vii
emptying into tho Moselle at Nomoxy and
Chatel.
Every house at Bouzzy was demolished. and
very few remain at Les Forges. where there arc
l.400 Inhabitants. At Uxegney twenty three
persons were drowned. Every building was de-
stroyed at Darnieulles, where the population
number 900.
Notwithstanding the fact that Nonexy Is ten
miles from the dam, many OF the Inhabitants Of
that place had not time to reach the upper por-
hons of their dwellings before the torrent was
upon them.
The corpses of eight victim. have already been
found there.
Many farmers throughout the valley are ru-
ined, and & large number of families are with
out food or clothes. The damage caused by tho
food is estimated at $l0.ooo,ooo.
