newspaper the names and residences of the
three hundred lucky individuals who will be
come the possessors of the premiums this after

The Crosby Opera House.
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.

Cbicaoo, January 21. 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

Two hundred and ten thousand certificates were
issued, about twenty-tive thousand remaining

Everything, to a'l appearances, is being con
ducted with perfect fairnesn, and to the satis
faction of all concerned.
