The club has been responsible for a number of benefactions; one of the earliest being a donation of £221 to the widow of James Breen, a steeplechase jockey, who was killed in the hunting field on 12 July 1879. From 1890 the club held an annual amateur billiard tournament, regarded as one of the more important in the State. Notable members Lewis Cohen, a prominent member of Tattersall's Club, was voted to the mayoral chair in 1909 despite fierce opposition from the Churches, who decried his open support for horse racing.
