The Council authorised a Dog Show in the Gardens, 
which was held on the 4th, 5th, and 6th September: 
and proved not only attractive to the public but 
profitable to the Gardens, as the nett Profit amounted 
to £153 14s. 7d. 
It appears so reasonable to make pet animals con- 
tribute to the support of their wild cousins that the 
Council intend to hold a Dog Show every year, during 
the week of the Royal Society’s Horse Show, when 
Dublin has so many visiters from the country.
