Big Sea Lions in the River.
The two big sea lions that escaped from the park aquarium, at Philadelphia, Pa., and wriggled their way to a canal leading to the river, are cornered in the first lock, but have balked all attempts at recapture. They haughtily spurn all tempting morsels of fish which it was hoped would lure them back to their tanks. It is virtually impossible for them to get through or over the lock, but their capture is uncertain. Crowds, including many children, enjoy the futile efforts of their would-be captors.
