YACHTING IN new ORLEANS.

New ORLEANS Sept. O. 1870
The annual cruise Of the Crescent City Yacht Club
closed yesterday with a spirited race for the chal-
lenge cup, which was won by MIR. G. I. Howard's
yacht, sailed by j. Clemens, beating Mr. A. d. Ber-
mondy's Mathilde by one minute and five seconds,
and Mr. H. Pareshide's Linnas by two minutes and
twenty-nine seconds. The course was seven and
half miles, triangular, twice over and the race
sailed from the New Orleans end Of Lake P0nuchar-
train. During the cruise there has been some
very pretty running at Biloxi ana other points
across the lake, the superior seamanshp OF the vet
eran Johnny Clemens IN all proving successful.
Invitations were sent to New York and other
Cities but no Northern yachtmen accepted the prof
fered courtesy. Perhaps the game too small.
The club numbers more than three hundred men,
bors, with J. O. Nixon as commodore, but possesses
no yacht of more than thirty feet in length. There
is wealth and water enough in and around New Or
leans to do something better than this. Model
yachts upon model sea are very pretty, but are
scarcely up to the times. In a year sO when the
Mexican Gulf Railroad is completed why should
not the Crescent City Yacht Club take turn in the
Gulf, with manly seagoing vessels instead OF pud.

JERSEY CITY TAXES.

The Jersey City Board Of Aldermen had another
protracted debate yesterday over the tax levy, and
succeeded IN running it up to ST. 900. When this
amount was announced the Aldermen stared at each
other in silence, and well they might. For a few
moments not word was spoken. Alderman Hogan
then rose and said that he would not vote for the
ordinance on It's third reading. Comparing
the figures with the aggregate Of the three
cities last year he found an increase OF ninety
per cent. The taxpayers In his district, where
there a great deal OF unimprOved property,
would complain loudly. Alderman Clark SAID
that this tax levy, together with the State and
county taxes, would impose on Jersey City tax OF
three per cent or nearly double that Of last year.
Alderman Bumstead SAID that the chairmen OF the
different committees figured out their apprOpra-
tons not in proportion 10 the wants Of their several
departments but each, believing that his neighbor
had too much raised the amount accordingly. Al
derman Ege explained his method OF reducing 1t by
$l34,000, deducting the salary which the Aldermen
voted to themselves. The tax ordinance was put
on Its final passage and lost. The members were
evidently 10th to face their constituents with such
budget, 80 the boiling down process will take place
at the next meeting.

Ladies insnlted by RnGlans from New York
and BrOOklyn-1he scOundreIs Sent to
Jail.
During the progres. OF foot race at the Elysian
Fields, in Hoboken, yesterday afternoon, several
ladies, young and old, were grossly nsulted by two
young boods, who attempted such indecent liberties
that general outcry arose against them. One
OF them afterwards raised some and
hurled 1t at grayhaired old lady, but
the missile fortunately missed her. The ras-
calls were arrested and taken by Of1cer Ryan
to the police station where they gave their names as
Patrick O'Brien. residing at No. $50 First avenue,
New York, and William pigott, resident of Brook
lyn. Recorder Pope, having heard the testimony
informed the prisoners that while 1t was usual to
impose fine in cases OF dlsOrdery conduct, he
would make an example which neither Of them
would forget. The fact that so large sum as seven
ty dollars was found IN their possession, sug
gested to HIM that they came into Hoboken with q
view OF importing their New York rOwdyism and
then buying themselves off with fine. He would,
therefore, sentence them to one month eacn in the
county Jail. As soon as this announcement
was made they were SO startled that they looked
intently at the Recorder for q moment, and then
OBren rushed at one OF the witnesses, striking him
heavy blow on the head. The Recorder made
note Of the fact, and when the month expires
O'Bren viii be called upOn to renew his visit TO the
mansion Of Jersey City Heights.
