Show The Sea Lions. We had the pleasure, yesterday, of seeing these monsters of the briny deep launched into their native element that is, a pond filled from City creek, at the Museum and Menagarie. Though not quite so salty as their own Pacific, they seemed hugely to enjoy the plunge. They rolled like porpoises then sank out of sight; clambered out on the "dry land," waddled about their" enclosure, and finally couched themselves upon a large box, in the full glow of the noontide noon-tide sun, a luxury they exult in.. They are a curiosity the first, we understand, under-stand, ever taken so far, from the ocean. They will be on exhibition for a week. See the advertisement in another an-other coulmn. |
