EXMoRE, Va. Nov. 24.-President-
quietly on Rroadwater island, the beau
tiful but isolated resort which is owned
by the Broadwater club. 1t is nineteen
and eight-tenths miles from West Ex-
more. which place is two miles from
Exmore station on the New York. Phil
adelphia & Norfolk railroad. The prl-
vate steam launch Sunshine plies be-
tween the landing and the island over
a course which follows Machongo
creek for five and half miles. The
island is nine miles long and three
miles wide, and contains a population
of tWenty-one families. At the late
election thirty-one votes were polled,
and they were all for Cleveland.
The president-elect and his friends,
Charles 3. jefferson and l.. Davis are
the guests of Joseph l.. Ferrell. pres
ident of the club, at his cottage. which
is short distance from the club house.
the latter standing in grove of pine
trees a half mile inland. Mr.. Davis is a
member of the club. Mr.. Cleveland
and his two friends arrived at EXmore
station shortly after 5 o'clock yesterday
morning, but the party remained i'll the
private car of General uperintendent
Kenny. of the Philadelphia, Whining
ton d Bait more railroad, in which the
trip was made, until O'clock.
Although the island contains but
thirteen houses and few of them stores,
nearly 500 people welcomed the distin-
puiShpd UUeSt and gave him
A Cordial Reception,
both at the station and landing. Mr..
Cleveland acknowledged this welcome
by uucovering his head and shaking
hands with the gathering. At $3.50 the
Sunshine conveyed the trio to Broad
water Island.
Although the object of Mr.. Cleveland's
visit is. to secure absolute quiet and
some time in duck shooting.
A heavy Northwestern, which CON
tinued steadily both yesterday
and today. has prevented cunning
and the party has remained quietly III
doors. Mr.. Cleveland is in excellent
health. A reporter went to the isle To-
day and presented his card to the presi-
dent-elect. He was received cour-
teously. but Mr. Cleveland begged to be
excused from submitting to an inter-
view. He. however, expressed himself
as being delighted with his surround
ings. and said it was his intention to re-
main on the island five or six days.
Then he will join Mrs. Cleveland at
Lakewood. N. j. 1t is probable, how
ever. that if the president-elect's
plans are interrupted by callers that
he will stay several days longer. The
club house contains but four guests,
three college students from Philadel-
phia. who are here for duck shooting.
1t does not seem possible more isolated
spot could have been selected, where
Mr.. Cleveland could be free from vari-
Gus annoyances to which he was SUBJ
jected in New York.
Since Mr.. Cleveland's arrival it has
been remarkably cold for this locality,
1t is expected that the wind will fall
sufficiently by tomorrow to allow the
party to go duck shooting. Mr.. Cleve-
land ate his Thanksgiving dinner at D.
M, the only persons present being his
companions, Messrs. Davis, Jefferson
and the host, Mr.. Farrell.
