CROSBY OPERA HOUSE ART AssocIA-
TIoy.-The Chicago Ecening Post, Of the
oath inst, says: 1t will be observed by
the card of Mr.. Crosby below, that the
books for subscription to the Crosby OPP
era House Art Association will be kept
open for short period beyond the time
originallyadvertised This course is made
necessary by the inability Of the Asso-
citation to furnish the engravings-one OF
which, north the subscription price eta
certificate, accompanies each subscrip-
tomas 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 engravings 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 to answer fully the prom
Uses of the advertisements, there need no
longer be any faith in man. The char
acter of the Actuary of the association,
and the financial standing of his guaran-
tor, Mr.. Nickerson, could not and would
not be sacrificed for any amount of
money; and it will be recollected that
such men as James H. Bowen, President
of the Third National Bank J. C...Dore,
President Of the Board Of Trade, James
c. Fargo, of the American Express
Company, and others of our we'll
known and unimpeachable citizens,
have Endorsed in the strongest terms IN
the public prints their entire confidence
in the integrity of the management
Whatever may be thought of this enter
prise elsewhere, it is certain that in
Chicago, the home of the originators of
the association, entire confidence is felt
that some lucky certificate holder will
fall heir to this magnificent temple of
music, which is the pride of our city, and
which is at present the finest opera house
in the Union.
The following is the card referred to,
which will explain itself:
Crosby Opera House Art Association.
1t has been heretofore announced by the
management that the books Of the AS
ISOLATION would be closed on September
22d; but the time thus limited has been
found too short to complete an under
taking of such magnitude.
The sales have been very large
sufficient to insure, beyond doubt, the
entire success of the enterprise. Had it
been possible within the short time al
lowed, to have furnished the engravings
as fast as they have been required, there
is not the least doubt that every certlfi-
cate would now have been disposed Of
There has been general desire, how
ever, to receive the engravings at the
time of subscription, and the difficulty
heretofore of fully complying with this
desire has materially retarded the pro
gress of the sale A portion of the GER
tifcates, consequently, remain unsold.
The committee agree with the man
agement, that the hooks should not be
closed, while u short extension of the
time, at the present rapid rates of sales,
will suffice to dispose Of lh. remaining
certificates
The subscription books Slll, therefore,
be continued open for short time longer.
The day for the award of premiums will
soon be announced
