1t is very rarely that we feel inclined to call
the attention of our readers to any of the gilt ar
r. ngements with which our papers have lately been
hoo led but this scheme of WI at we may call the
Crosby Art Union is so largely and generously con-
ccived as well as so handsomely and unequivocally
rsed by the leading citizens of Chicago thatwe
unheSitaGingIy give it our cordial approval The
cost of the Opera House 5000 GEO. and the indi-
vd ias who disposed to puro hase such property
at such price, rare, even when its accompany
SO e. offices and studios rent for $4,000. What
in this case WAS TO he done ? Mr.. Crosby, those
who m. he associated with him. are sagacious men
They or ginated his ''art association - broadly
and literally arranged it freely fail Of ins rng
isefa positive success In the first place, they offer
TO every subscriber not alone a share in the Opera
House with the chance of ultimately becoming its
sole proprietor, but possibility o: obtaining also
other verv valuable premiums These consist of

Trnler anv circumstance this oughs to guarantee its
uurty of intentions; but when such series Of promi-
nent c tizcns of the Western Metropolis permit Mr.
Crosby to use their names in his advertisements as
proof of his good filth such guarnRtee is immeas-
urabIv strengthened. At the same time may call
the attention Of the tmiilv speculative to the fact
that every purchaser of share receives engrlv-
ing of at least double the value Of the which
be mas paid The whole scheme is so magnificent il
all its arrangements that shall indeed be surprised
should Mr. Crosby not speedily realize the whole o

CROSBY ART ASSOCIATION.
ATTEMPT TO IMPAIR PUBLIC CONFIDENCE IN THE EN-
TERPRISE.
From Chicago Post, August 23d

Il !
An attempt has just been made to impair public
confidence in tn, integrity of purpose of Mr. Crosby
in his goat Art Association enterprise. Some ire.
sponsible individual maciously, and certal1 1ly with
out any grounds had tee graphed to several eastern
newspapers that the people here lost confidence in the
scheme being carried OUT the prizes ever awarded.
Now the people in Chicago know that no one has ev
er expressed the slightest doubt Of the integrity of
Mr.. Crosby, his ability to carry out to the letter
the advertised project of the Association. The sale
of tickets has been with the past two weeks brsker
than ever and has there been the slightest in
dication of their depreciatng in value. in the fol-
lowing card Mr. Crosby reiterates his ability and
termination to carry cut the plan of the Association.
Mr.. NickersOn guarantees his undertaking, ard the
committee appointed to superintend the awarding of
premiums endorse both. The people of Chicago re-
qure no such guarantees hut on the contrary the
lrhoLe city roud be ready if required 10 guarantee
both The committee, Mr. Nickerson and Mr.. Crosby
carrying out the art Association scheme.
To 'he Members Of the Crosby Opera House Art
association
The sale of certificates in the Association has al
ready been great enab bic to state that the
distribution of lrem ums heretofore announced will
be made to their satisfaction, the money refunded

HORSE RACING AND HOmyCtnE.

HORSE RACING AND HOMICIDE.
An atroc1ous murder was committed on
the track Of the Chicago Driving Park on
Saturday, during the fiflh heat of an excit-
Ing trot between the celebrated horses
Cooley and General Bntler. Each of the
horses had won two heats. A bedlamfto
Wrangle had been started between the driy.
crs and blacklegs who had stakcd their
money on the race, growing out of an
alleged foul" on the part Of William Nc
beaver, the driver of Genernl Butler, on the
fourth heat Mr.. Riley, the driver Of Cooley,
IN consequence Of the alleged foul play, ori
fear Of dcfeat, drove his horse to the stable
at the end Of the fourth heat and refused to
80 around the course again. The cla1uor Of
the crowd, however, forced him to come out
and make the fifth heat. The sun had rono
down, and 1t was so dark that the horses
could not be seen more than half dozen
!engths from the judges stand. The two
horses and two drivers started off in the
oarkness. Two minutes Inter the horse
1encral Butler came around the track with.
ont LIS driver, running at the top Of his speed.
snd continued running until tired out, His
dflVef, Acheaver, was found lying on the
tsack bleeding and insensiblc, with his skull
fractured. Hc died on Sunday afternoon.
The wound which he received was inflicted
with piece Of board, which was found
near him hfnged with his blood and hair.
Evidently blow Ind been dealt him as he
passed, OF the board had been thrust in his
way 50 that he should dash his brains out
against 1t, by some person as yet unknown,
There can be no doubt that the crime was
committed by some villafn who Ind stakcd
his money on the race, and who thus had 4
pecuniary interest In disabling the driver of
Butler.
or course this shocking transaction will
be Investigated by the courts, and the guilty
party, If found, subjected to the penalty Of
Tic law. But the cause of good morals has
n deeper interest In the case. These race.
nEe altogether dcmoralizing and disgraecful.
1hcy consist Of one part gambling, and one
part cruelty to animals. The only difference
between gambling at races and gambling at
1aro is that one Is fashionable and
the other Is not, The essence OF the
race is the money to be won by the horses.
Without this incentive the horses would not
80, and the sporting fraternity would not be
thcre' All the bad passions Of the human
nea1t are brought into play, and the wonder
ls not that Mckcavcr was killed on satur-
day, but that so few mon arc killed at these
places. The darkness in which this deed
was perpeiratcd, was merely fortuitous
circumstance. The spirit Of murder was
stirred up by the race and the bettiuc, and
when the darkness gave promise that the
deed might be committed without discovery.
II was done.
There Is no middle ground between gam
bling and honest industry. Faro banks. lot
tefies, gift enterprises, and horse races, all
belong to tile same category. We eau con-
ceive that the trial Of. the speed of horses at
an agricultural fair, for instance, may be, in
itself, harmless, but haze no doubt that the
encouragement and quasi.rcspectabi1ity TINS
given to racing Is productive Of far more
harm than good.
