YACHTIXQ IS" MINIATURE. LITTLE BOATS TS A BOUGH SEA AND 8TOC-- VTSO A FLOOD TIDE A THREE-MILE RACE THE' ADELA THE VTUflTEB. A larga number of tha miniature yachts had a spirited race yesterday across Gowaaua Bay to a stake boat anchored off Bay Ridge. It was intended that tha race should be dead to windward, but there was so much of tha east in tha wind that this was well ntgh Impossible, If aot absolutely so. At all areata, to gtre them a straight, to windward course would hare necessitated taking, them out Into tha strong flood tide that finds its way Into the Xast Rirer, aad Into ao rough a aeaway for such small boats la aQ probability, none of them could here beatea to tha winning stake-boat.

As it was, a great many of them bad their sail thoroughly docked. in tba water, while many others turned back. The contest waa for a purse of 825, was ezelusirely for schooners, and was without limitations or conditions, exeept la respect to a time allowance of 15 seconds to the Inch. The entries were: Maria, 66 inches, J. 8.

Northrop Dora, 64 Inches, W. Travis Patsey, 64 Inches, John Ryan; Uxsie, 63 1-3 Inches, James Maneej Zephyr, 61 inches. Max Wrlgley; Commodore Bennett, 98a inches, T. Tooker Comet, 92 inches, Thomas' Edwards. The Maria and cannot being the largest boats allowed tbe Adela 19 seconds, vixen 25 seconds, Dora 30 seconds, Patsey 30 seconds, Llxtie 40 seconds.

Zephyr 1 minute 19 seconds. Commodore Bennett 1 minute 92a seconds, and Comet 3 minutes 30 seconds. The little yachts were started from the basin on tha Court-street aide of Go wan us Bar, the wind being south-east, and therefore mostly on their beam, the sea being rather rough for craft of their dimensions, and tbe tide being dead against them. As they passed the judge's boat their time was aa follows: Adela, 1:45: 10 1 Jeaunot. 1:45:30 1 Maria, 1:49:49 1 Comet, 1:46:00 1 Dora, 1:46:20 1 Commodore Bennett, 1:46 30, Vixea, 1:47:05 Lixxie, 1:47:25 1 Zephyr.

1:47:35 1 Patsey, 1:47:55. Shortly after getting off they became scattered in all directions. Some of them bawled erer until their sails lay flat en the water, and were utterly unfit either to stand an to the bxeese or stem tha tide. Some again tacked while others stood on in a straight reach for the winning stake-boat. The Adela ahowed fine speed, and skimmed away from the little fleet, the only boat that pretended to challenge her being the Pataey, which sailed throuxh the fleet ia capital style and took second place, fierertbelesa.

at the Bay Ridge stake-boat the Adela had a long lead. She was followed by ths Patter, Maria, Llirift, 6nd Vixen tn tha order named. The others were not timed. The fol-lowtna table indicatee the performances of the most prominent at the finish i Elapsed Corrected Start, finish. Tims.

Yesterday the prisoner wss taken before Justice Ot- terbourg, at the Essex Market Police Court, when. It baring been diaeorared that he was probably insane, he was ordered to be taken to the Tombs to be ex amined by tha physician there. The mafc was giren In care of Officer Isaac H.

Albin, of the Essex Mar ket Court squad. The officer and his eharga walked quietly together down the Bowery until they reached Canal -street, when Leddy turned upon him unexpectedly, and drawing a large clasp knife, stabbed him four times, inflicting one wemnd In his left arm and three ta his right side anderjthe A crowd collected, and Officer Flanagan, tha First Inspection District, hastened to the spot in time to disarm-tbe manlaa, Just as he was ta the act of raising the weapon to strike another blow. Raring disarmed him, tha two officers walked oa together toward the Tomba, Albin, hewerer, strangely saying nothing about his wounds to his fellow-officer. Reaching tbe Tombs, Albin deUrered the maniac to the physician, at the same time airing bis pedigree. Ha then walked away, and, seeing Warden Qulnn, stopped a few momenta to chat with him, saying, with apparent unconcern, that he gueeaed Leddy had cut nim.

These were the Bret words he had spoken about the stabbing since it had occurred, and anoa the Warden expressing some concern about his injuries, he said Ohl I guess It isn't anything much," and lifted his eoat that the Warden might satisfy himself. To his surprise ha diseorered that bis clothes were soaked with blood, and at the- Warden's earnest solicitation stepped to the physician's room and undressed, so that his wounds might be attended to. The physician found that three of the wounds were slight, but that one of those en the eLdey in the ridn-tty of the Injured man's kidneys, was quite serious. The profuse hemorrhage waa stopped after some time, and the patient was remored to the Chambers-Street Hospital. He has been 20 years oa the Police force, and is considered to be a rery trustworthy officer.

He was transferred to court duty about three months ago. Leddy, who was confined fat a strait Jacket la a pediird call, claimed, whea first brought in by the officer, that he had Bred two pistol shots at the latter, and had intended to fire av third.

Hiram Craastpn. the well known keeper of the New-Tork HoteL died suddenly yesterday morning at 9 o'clock. Mr. Cranston was, perhaps, as well known aa any hotel keeper la the United States, he-ring been engaged la the business for nearly 50 years. Be has aot been fat good health for maay yeara.

Though naturally a man of good coa-stltutioa, two serious assaults apoa him daring hia Ufa threatened to end it violently, aad ao Impaired his gen seal health that for the last few years he has contended for exist sacs Vy the exercise of the utmost ears la all his movements. Only a few weeks age aa attack ot heart disease alarmed hia Meads, aad his physician has felt that noth ing bat the greatest caution would keep him aHre. He waa bora Sept. 13, 1814, at Stephen to wa. Rensselaer County, X.

Tw his father being Simon Cranston, a descendant of the Craastoas of Soot- land, aad more recently of Berkshire County, Mass. Hiram Cranston earaed his first dollar aa a' schoolteacher, bat ha erlaeed a taste for the voeaiioa which he afterward followed, aad when only 16 years ef age he entered the Troy House, at Troy, N. as a clerk. This place he occupied for three years, and hia maay agreeable personal traits aad ex cellent business ability made him thoroughly popular. and seised him to the virtual position of manager.

Whea scarcely 20 years of age he came to this City, entering the Paeifio Hotel, on Greenwich-street. In 1839 he became its keeper, and retained the place for several years. He also leased the Parilioa Hotel, at Roekaway, and conducted that establishment tn a style which was considered at that time to be the rery best. The hotel was the resort of the most fashionable people, the table and service were unex ceptionable, aad the only really popular watering-place at that time was in a degree made so by the superiority of Mr. Cranston's hotel accommodations.

For two years after he gare np the Pavilion at Roekaway he waa employed by De ris, Brooks sV who had for many years been his guests at Roekaway. and who selected him for his executive ability to assist la the management of the then growing Pacific trade. In the Winter of 1846 he became, for a brief season, the manager of the Entaw House, Baltimore, and raised it to the rank of a flrst-elsaa establishment. His stay in Baltimore was marked by a painful oc currence, lie had occasion one uay to cheek a servant for some neglect of duty. Taking offense at his remarks the man attacked Mr.

Cranston on the sidewalk with a knife, which he thrust Into hia breast through the right lung, wounding Mr. Cranston so seriously that for a long time It was believed he would die. The wound healed, but tha lung through which the thrust had been made became ruber-eulated, and it was always sensitive to changes of the atmosphere. Prom Baltimore Mr. Cranston went to Fairfield, where he conducted the Pavilion Hotel for two years.

Then he came to this City, and In company with Mr. Curtis Judson, now of the Gramerey Park Hotel, conducted the Xew-York Hotel one year. At the end of the year Mr. Cranston became sole manager. In 185S he again narrowly escaped aeath at the hands of an Infuriated assailant.

About May 18, 1858. a Spanish gentleman, named Annenteroe, stopped at the New- York Hotel, and was taken sick a few days afterward. Dr. Geniardet, brother of the editor of the Courier afar JStatt fats, was called to attend him. Mr.

Cranston, hearing that Armenteros had the small pox, inquired of Dr. Gaillardet about the matter, and was Inform ed-by him that the patient was suffering from an attack of the measles. This statement waa discredited by some of the guests of the house, and Air. Cranston, to be satisnea, eetiea in ut. crane.

who waa introduced to Dr. Gaillardet, and by him permitted to see the sick man. Dr. Crane immediately pronounced the ease to be one of small-pox. and recommended that Armenteros be forthwith removed to the Black-well's Islsnd Small-pox Hospital.

Mr. Cranston wrote a note directly to Dr. Gaillardet requesting him to secure ftceonmodations elsewhere and not to appear at tha table akme or in company with hit wife. Ia the note Mr. Cranston stated that Dr.

Gall-lardet's meeJs would be furnished to him in his rooms until he had found accommodations elsewhere. Dr. Gaillardet arrived at the hotel just before the dinner hour e'eloek when his wife handed the note to him. Indignant at its contents, despite the entree ties of his wife, he rushed from the room declaring that be would kin Mr. Cranston.

This threat was heard by two waiters, who seized and tried to hold him as be was about to enter the dining Breaking away from the writers, the Doctor entered the dinlaa-room. where Mr. Cranston wss seated next to Dr. Woodworth, of the United States Navy, seised a bottle ef champagne, and dealt Mr. Cranston a blow ea the top of the head, shattering the bottle, wtth tbe remnant of which he struck Mr.

Cranston a second time, felling htm. and leaving him stunned aad bleeding. Mr. Cranston for a long time waa in a precarious condition. Ir.

Gaillardet was arrestea and tried, found guilty, and sentenced to im prisonment for seren years, but, through the connivance or neglect of an officer, he escaped and returned to France. The wounds made by the servant and Gaillardet hare of late rears told upon the health of Mr. Cranston, and, doubtless, hastened his death. When the war broke out tn 1861. Mr.

Cranston waa well-known as an outspoken sympathiser with the extreme Southern people, and hia known position made him aa object of great offense to many of the Union men in this Citr. His house was the resort of many prominent Southerners and Democrats, with whom it waa popular because politicians were always sure of meeting somebody worth knowing-" at the New-York HoteL During tha war and after it, Mr. Cranston was a friend, not only in sentiment but in act, to -all Southerners. In August, 186L, hex visited the rebel prisoners in Fort Lafayette and made complaint of the treatment they received, and from time to time, as opportunity offered, he took helpless Southern men. ilisaharged prisoners and others, into his hotel aad provided for them until they were able to take care of themselves.

He supplied the Maryland Legiala-ture with everything they needed while in Fort Lafayette. When Lee surrendered more than SOO Confederate officers were quartered in the house. In I860 Mr. Cranston began to make a scrap-book. In which he entered newspaper slips of prominent political events, with ooeaaional comments.

This was kept up until It became apparent that the South was to be beaten, and then it suddenly ceased. On one page of it ia pasted the Charleston Mercury extra, announcing the dissolution of the Union by the Sooth Carolina Assembly. Another contains a circular which waa distributed in August, 1861, to rebel sympathizers, which began, Traitors, Beware and went on to warn such men that a good hemp rope" wsa prepared for them.

ARRIVAL OF AN HAVANA STEAXEB OH SUNDAY WITH SIX CASES OX BOARD ONE DEATH YESTERDAY EXTRA PRECAUTIONS TAKEN BY THE HEALTH AUTHORITIES NO CAUSE FOR ALARM. The steam-ship Juana, which arrived at this port on Sunday last from Havana, with six rases of yellow fever on board.

Is still lying at Lower Quarantine, aad the patients are nnder treatment at the yellow fever hospital. One of the men died yesterday and the other five were reported to be doing well. Dr. Vanderpocl, Health Officer of the port, said yesterday that there was nothing whatever to be alarmed about, and that he had not the slightest fear of danger ao far aa New-York waa concerned. He aaid that every precaution was being taken to protect theClty from the contagion.

The Juana was 6 Spanish steamer consigned in ballast to R. J. Cortia, gad the persona afflicted with yellow fever on board of her were all employee of the vessel; in fact rhe had no pasaengers. The veaael waa in a rery filthy condition, and would be kept at Quarantine until ah had been thoroughly cleansed and purified, and put in a proper condition. Dr.

Vanderpoel aaid that, as a general thing, the health authorities could not rely upon the statement of any health bill of vessels arriving from Southern porta, and that for that aaoa they did not pay much attention to but took the precaution to detain all reeaels striving from infected porta until satisfied that thev were -all right. The steam-ship Magnolia, which arrived yesterday from Savannah, 6a, which port ahe left four daya ago, with nine passengers from Florida, he said would be detained until to-day. and then, if nothing wrong appeared oa board, ahe would be allowed to proceed to the City. There were no signs of yellow fever on board at present. In regard to the death in the New-York Hospital, three weeks ago, from yellow fever, of a man who came here by the steam-ship City of Austin, from Fernandiaa, Dr.

Vanderpoel aaid it waa one of tboae eases which the utmost care could not have prevented. Tbe vessel, he said, came here with a clean bill ot health, aa she also did two weeks ago on her next trip, and both times she had yellow fever on board. Dr. Vanderpoel says that scarcely a vessel haa arrived from the South during the past three week without more or less yellow fever on board. There have been 1 4 cases of the disease in the hospital, and of these three have proved fatal There ia nothing alarming or unusual about it, and the health authorities attach no particular importance to the circumstance.

They are doing their best to prevent any ease slipping by them, and so long as they can do that there ia nothing to fear. Althoush the weather for the past week has been as bad as it could well be, the health officers feel positive that there will be a change soon. It has been positively determined that the seeds of disease are not disseminated by the wind, and that, taken In connection with the reasonable prospects of cold, frosty weather soon, is sufficient to allay any fears on the part of the most timid, of any danger from yellow fever in New-York. The line of ateamers running between New-York and Fernandlna, has been discontinued for the present. Subscription lists In aid of the sufferers by the yellow fever at Fernandina have been started at the Maritime Exchange and at the office of Chatcr Ic King, agents of the Fernandina Steam-ahip Line, No.
