Cro,bY Opera House Art Association.


10 the Editor Of the Re1 York Herald - Having
soen in the Herald letter impugninR my motives
and those OF the managers of the Crosby Opera
House Art Association in not at once closing their
books, might request you TO allow me the liberty
of making q brief reply 10 itY
The time since the subscription lists were fret
opened 10 barely four months-a period far shorter
than that in which Art Union OF even e-tenth
It's magnitude has ever completed the disposal OF IT'S
shares.
I'D 20 the present more than one half of the whole
number OF certificates have been disposed OF But
will yOur correspondent permit me to ask him
whether himself friends or the public generally
would be contented with my action were to bring
the Crosby Art Association 70 an immaculate close,
retaining the unsO shares in my own handsp AT
It's fret commencement l determined 70 hold no
certificates IN my own possession at the closing OF
the books.
My reason for this was that wished to avoid
every possibility OF anything like doubt IN the minds
of the subscribers to the honesty and justice OF
the final result For the same reason the commit.
tee selected by the management, who have kindly
consented 70 superintend the drawing, and who
are composed of the wealtbiest and most infiuen-
me- But from previous inexpeTience in the comp.
Gated details Of so large scheme, am free to co n
iess that myself and the management were unable to
determine the time required ior carrying it to q ter
minatl0D with any degree OF certainty. Conse-
quently cannot but think that when the public
has repeatedly allowed nine or ten months for the
comp OF the share lists of infinitely smaller art
associations, we scarcely presume too much upon
their Kindness when we require somewhat more
time Than that which has elapsed since July last.
Let me, however, assure your correspondent and
the others for whom he speaks, that the day for the
drawing will be fixed witnIn few days after the
returns from the various agents in different paris of
the country Tor October have been received and
than his, that the day shall be determined as mme.
dlately as possible. u. Il. CROSBY
