DUBLIN.
A "new ISSUE has, at last arisen in
Dublin. According to the local press
reports, the governors of the Rotunda
hospital are now negotiating, with a
view to the letting Of the Rutland
Square Gardens to the proprietors of a
"Swiss Village" entertainment, for the
summer and autumn months. The
householders of Rutland Square are
strongly opposed to the plan, especially
as it will shut them out Of the Gear
dens'' until the winter-unless they pay
for admission, although they have
''keys," which are supposed to give
them exclusive admission into the
square. The legal aspect Of the posi-
ton does not yet appear to have been
taken into account. When "the gentle
men of the long robe' get at the affair,
then the fun will commence,-provid-
ed someone may think it worth while
to pay the piper.
