This noble building is situated on Washing ton street, with a frontage of 140 feet by 180 leet in depth, five stories high, with Mansard roof. It is of Athens marble, in' the modern Italian style, and is conceded by all to be one of the finest buildings in America. Four spa cious btorcs, each ill) by 180 feet, two on pach side of the grand and imposing entrance to the Opera House, divide between them th first ftory of this matchless temple of art. The re maining Doors are occupied by ollices and studios. The annual rental of this portion ot the building, exclusive of the Opera House proper, is at present $;10,00(. The studios arc connected with one of the finest Art Galleries in the country, known a3 the "'Crosby Art Gallery." .Of the auditorium or the Opera House no description can be attempted here. It is im possible to convey to those who have not viewed it any adequate idea of its exceeding richness and beauty.. It is pronounced by all to bo the loest in the world, Flan and Objects of tlie Association. In the spring ot 18G5, Mr. U. H. Crosby com pleted his iuai;uiticent opera House, at a cost of fCuO.OOl). Owing to the great excess of this expenditure over the oiigiual estimates, result ing from the enhanced value of materials and labor during the war, from modifications and improvements suggested in the progress of the work, which were necessary to periect his de sign, and from other unforeseen causes, which it i9 unnccessu-y to state, Mr. Crosby became financially embarrassed, and only succeeded iu his purpose oi giving to Chicago this noble work cf art at the sacrifice of his fortune. This reverse having made the sale of the pro perty necessary, the friends of art in Chicngo and the Eastern cities urged the idea ot making its disposal the basis of a National Distribution of Paintings and Engravings, upon the Art Union plan. The suggestion met with the approval of gentlemen of prominence iu busiuess circles of Chicago, and led to the subscription, by a number of the leading citizens, ot a lar?e fund for the institution of the "Opera House Art Association," the objects of which should be the realization of the original cost of the Opera House, and the distribution of a large collection of paintings and engravines of value, selected Irom the works of the most eminent artists of America. This plan has received the most generous co-operaiion and support of the leading Ameri can artists. They have signified their apprecia tion of Mr. Crosby's interest in Art, and of his sacrifices in its behalf, by contributing to tne enterprise many of their finest works, at such a large reductiou trom the market value of the paintings as to ensure a haudsome fund for the benefit of Mr. Crosby. The engravers and pub lishers have earnestly joined with the a'tlsts In a similar liberality, and nave furnished the plates and the immense supply of engra vings requisite for distribution at a price which leaves a most liberal sum as a compli ment to Mr. Crosby, while the public , will re ceive the eugravintrs at a cost not greater than the regular subscription price, it is proposed to award the Opera House and paintings as pre rniums to members ot the Association the Opera House being offered as first premium thus securing an advantageous sale of the pro perty, at its actual cost, to Mr. Ciohby, and in a manner wluh will at the same time promote the very object of its erection the advance ment of American Art. In acquiescence with this suggestion, "The Crosby Opera House Art Association" was lormeo upon tne touowinir plan; First. There will bo issued to members cer tificates for 210,000 shares, at $5 each, number ing from 1 to 210,000, inclusive, which entitle the holder to receive one or more of the first class bteel engravings hereinafter described, a share in the award of premiums, and free ad mission to the galleries ot the Association until the award takes place. Second. There will be awarded amoner the nifeu.bers, as premiums, the Ciosby Opera House and lot on which It stands, erected at a cost of JJ hundred thousand dollars, together with all te : splendid stage scenery, maehinery.tunuture, ( nxturc and accessories, and over three hundred ' a and valuable oil paintings by the first American artists. i ,C?!"PLETE tlsT OK PHIZES. rtMdJ.'0?bI Pra Hoae, and lot on which It !toiLu at 0O8' oi hundred thousand r,2S "th Plendid etaro oriea """'""wy, lurnituie, fixtures, and aooos- Adieus Mta, u&!

The great sensation of tbe day is the drawing of the Crosby Opera House Art Association, which commences punc tually at 12 o'clock. The city ia in a considerable state of excitement on account of It. A great crowd of people was besieging the en trance to the Opera House, awaiting the open ing of the doors. The wheels for the drawing were completed and placed on exhibition on Saturday, being viewed with great interest by large crowds of people. TLc Committee to superintend the drawiug, under the chairmanship of Ira D. Munn, one of the most prominent merchants ot Chicago, have been in session all the morning, counting and arranging the numbers to be placed in the wheels. Caleb II. Needles and Richard 8mith, of Phi ladelphia, are the only members of the Com mittee from the East who succeeded in running the snow blockade. The New York members are now snow-bound on tlie way West. The only Eastern papers represented by spe cial correspondents are The Evening Tele graph and New York Herald, the other corres pondents bring saow-bound on the way here. Two hundred and ten thousand certificates were issued, about twenty-tive thousand remaining unsold and to credit of Mr. Crosby. One hun dred and ton thousand were sold at the Chicago office alone.
