During the past year, 21 live horses, 173 dead 

 cattle, and 36 dead pigs and sheep, were pre- 

 sented to the Society for the use of the animals. 



The experiment of charging two pence to 

 adults visiting the Gardens, instead of one penny, 

 as heretofore, which was commenced in 1874, 

 was continued during the last year, with the satis- 

 factory result of adding a considerable sum to 

 the income of the Society.

 articles of food used in the Gardens, it became 

 necessary to secure a permanent addition to the 

 yearly income of the Society ; leaving the pre-

 buildings and purchase of animals. 



This permanent addition to the income of the 

 Society has been attained by doubling the price 

 of admission for adults only, both on Week Days 

 and Sundays. The receipts from Sunday admis- 

 sions, during the past ten years, have been —
