A curious sight was witnessed one
afternoon on the wharf at Cincinnati.
A gentleman, accompanied by two
fine specimens of the water spaniel,
went down to the landing of the New
port ferry, at the foot of Lawrence
street. Somehow he became separated
from the CANNES, or rather they failed
to follow him aboard. The boat had
got out in the stream, when the dogs
caught sight of their master and dis
covered he was fast leaving them
Standing on the edge of the float, they
both set up vigorous yelping, which
attracted the attention of the bystand-
ers.
Suddenly the older and larger dog
plunged into the river and began to
swim rapidly toward the Kentucky
shore. He had gone about 100 yards
when he seemed to become aware that
his brute companion had not followed.
Turning around, he swan back toward
the spot where the younger dog stood.
AS he drew alongside the float he
made no effort to get aboard. The two
began to bark at each other-to hold
an animated conversation in the dog
tongue, as it were. The older dog, as
he tloated by the side of the landing,
barked encouragement to the more
timid animal, and apparently was urg-
ing the latter to jump into the water
The barking duet lasted some minutes,
and then the younger dog, seemingly
convinced by his companions assur
ance, grew bold, and suddenly bound
ed into the river
The first dog gave delighted yelp,
and, both turning their noses toward
Kentucky, began to swim straight
across, side by side. Both continued
to bark until they reached the shore,
and :ould be heard on both sides of
the ,lver. The people on the ferry and
the Kentucky shore saw the strange
race, and, with people on this side and
on the bridge, watched it to the end
The dogs landed opposite to the bar
racks, where they were awaited by
their owner, who, with several othe
gentlemen, had hurriedly walked
down the bank. There was no limit
to the delight of the two animals as
they rushed up TO their master. The
river at that point is nearly half
mile wide. The action of the dogs
seemed to indicate that they had Ian
guage of their own, and the paternal
manifestations of the elder brute were
most interesting to see.-Cincinnati
