from the Chi 40 Evening Post, Sept. "a L.
It will be observed by the card of
Mr.. Crosby below, that the books
for subscription to the Crosby Opera
House Art Association will be kept
open for short period beyond the
time originally advertised. This course
is made necessary by the inability OF
the Association to furnish the engrav-
ings-one of which, north he subSorip-
ton price of a cel tifcGte, accompanies
each ,subscription--as fast as was made
necessary by the demand and in order
to close out all the certificates by the
day set for the drawing. That day, as
experience has proved, was set too soon.
The printers could not furnish engrav-
ings fast enough to accompany all the
certificates within the time. specified.
We take this occasion again to assure
the public of the entire good faith of
the management of this association. If
there is any failure toanswer fully the
promises of the advertisements, there
need no longer be any faith in man.
The character of the Actuary of the AS
ISOLATION, and the financial standing of
his guarantor, Mr., Nickerson, could net
and would not be sacrificed for any
amount of money; and it will he recol-
lected that such men as James III. Bow
en-, President of the Third National
Bank, J. O.. Dore, President of the
Board of Trade, James q. Fargo, of
the American Express Company, and
Others of our well known and unim-
peachable citizens, have endorsed in the
public prints their entire confidence IN
the integrity of the management. What
ever may be thought of tins enterprise
elsewhere, it is certain that in Chicago,
the home of the originators of the en-
terprise, entire confidence is felt that
some lucky certificate holder viii fall
heir to this magnificent temple of mu-
sic, which is the pride Of our city, and
which is at present the finest opera
house In the Union. "7 irrrt' io fh
The following is the card referred to,
which will explain itself: 't'.
1t has been heretofore announced by the man
agenent that the books of the Association would be
closed ON september 22d, but the time thus limited
has been found too short to complete an undertake

The sales have Deen very large-sufh cient to in
sure, beyond doubt, the entire success OF the en-
terprise Had 1t been possible within the short
time allowed, TO have furnished the engrayings as
least doubt that every certificate would now have
been disposed Of
There has been a general desire, however, to re-
ceive the eugraviDgs at the time of subscription.
aud the difficuty heretofore OF fy complying with
this desire has materially retarded the progress OF

certificates. remain unsold. - t.
The committee agree with the mana cement, that
the books should not be closed while a shortex-
tension of the time at the present rapid rate of
sales will suffice to dispose of the remaining cerit
icates.
The subscription books will, therefore. be con
tinued open Tor a short time longer The day for
the award OF pre- minis will sQon be announced.
