Crosby Opera House Art Association.

From the Chicago Evening Post, Sept. "a
1t will be observed by the card OF Mr..
Crosby below, that the books for su bscri ption
to the Crosby Opera House Art Association
will be kept open for short period beyond
the time orig inaliy advertised. This course
ls made necessary by the inability of the as
ISOLATION to furnish the engravings-ons of
which, srorth the subscriptions price of a GER
tifcate, omrRnies each subscription as
fast as was made necessary By the demand
and in order to close out all tho certificates
by the day set for the drawing. That day,
as experience has proved, was set too soon.
The printers could not furnish sngravings
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 m snage-
ment of this association. IF there il anv
failure to answer fully the promises of the
advertisements, there need no longer be any
faith in man. The.character of the actuary
of the association, and the financial standing
of his guarantor Mr.. NiGkerson, could not
and would not be sacrificed for any amount
of money; and it will be recollected that such
men as James FL. Brown, president of the
Third National Bank, j. G. Dere, president
of the board of trade, James G. Fargo, OF the
American Express Company, and others OF
our WeIi-known ana unlmpeachapie 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 enterprise elsewhere,
it is certain that in Chicago, the home of the
orIglnatiors of the association, entire conf
deuce is felt that some lucky certificate hol-
der 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:

It has been heretofore announced by the man.
agement that the books of the association would
be closed on September 22d but the time thus
limited has been found to complete an undertake
ing of such magnitude.
The sales have been very large-sufiicient to
insure, beyond doubt, the entire success of the
enterprise. Had it been possible within the
hort time allowed, to have furnished the engrav-
ings as fast as they have been required, there is
not the least doubt that every certificate would
now have been disposed of
There has been geneal desire, however, to
receive the engrayings at the time of subscrip-
tion and fhe difficulty heretofore of fully com
plying with this desire has materially retarded
the progress of the sale. portion of the GER
tfcates, consequently, remain unsold.
The committee agree with the management,
that the books should not be closed, while a
short extension of the time, at the present rapid
rate of sales win suffice to dispose of the remain
ing certificates.
The subscription books will, therefore, be con-
tinued open for short time longer. The day
for the award of premiums will soon be announc-
ed

EEWhat's the reason the Radical
Press and party find nothing to condemn
in Frank Thomas course in Congress.
What's the reason they always select as
"orators" for important occasions, such as
Ward of New York who voted in Congress
for Negro Suffrage.
What's the reason that under Radical
rule, National, State and County taxes
are always increased.
What's the reason the most strenuous
advocates for maintaining the Registry
law are found among Radical Office holders.

No longer a state Question.

EJr Frank Thomas, iH his speech al

question is no longer State question, .
So here is plainly annunciated one of the
planks Of. the Radical platform. Mary.
land say they no longer has the power to
say the negro shall not:vcte. That power
belongs only to Congress.
What say you to this, Marylanders1
Do you acknowledge this power in Congressi
Are you satisfied that Congress shall de-
eide this question of Negro Suffrage in
Maryland for you? If you are, sustain
Frank Thomas, and his Radical followers
in this county. and they will soon decide
the question for you as they have done for
the people in the District of Columbia.
If you believe the people Of Maryland
haze the right, and can decide the qucs-
tion for themselves without the aid of
Congress, then lift up your voice in sup.

Base Ball Match.

In the Base Ball Match which came OF at
Frederick on the l4th, between the Antietam
Club of Hagerstown, and the Ivanhoe of Balti-
more, our friends Of the Antietam rather had .the
eonceit taken out of them. Speaking of the match
the Frederick Caizen has the following: ~,
"The players took their positions and the game
began, the Antietam having the first innings.
They played shy and lost by it. This is q
young and most promising club, and we advise
its members just here, to disregard all idea of self
importance, and put themselves down to real
work. For example: The Antietam has fret.
ctass pitcher, but-and here comes the point-he
is wanting in watchfnness-upon which We will
be permitted to say, half the game depends. The
Antietam has the make Of frst-class club, and If
they will correct a little iooseness in which they
indulge we have no doubt-and We won't ask
odds on it-that they will be able to play the
Ivanhoe or its superior, with no discredit to IT.
self. .a, -at a .HI.t
But, we don't wish to be critical and we are
free 10 say that the Ivanhoe bore themselves off
gallantly and are most worthy of the honors
which they have won. II is but fair to state that
Mr.. Neil, the Captain of the Antietam 6rst nine
Was injured by a ball striking him in the face
The club claims that this haG much to do with
the result of the game. We do not wish nor have
We the time, to critically notice this very fine
match game nor can we in limited notice do
anything like credit to the brilliant play Of the
victorions lvanhoe.'
The Potomac club OF this place, since the result
of the above match was made known, have II in
contemplation to challenge the vanquished First
nine of the Antietam TO match with the Poto-
mac Second nine. ..-
