EXMORE, VA. Dec. 2-Thstide, wind
and temperature were to-day favorable
for ducldng. President-eiect Cleveland
went out with George Doughty TO the
South end of High Shoals When starting
for the blind Mr.. Cleveland appeared In
exceptionally high spirits. He said that
IL he could not hit the. ducks he would
start Fourth of July among them. When
entering the sail boat. which conveyed
him TO the channel Cut Harigis offered
TO assist Mr.. Cleveland, who said that
he felt younger than Harigis looked. He
expressed himself as feeling younger than
a sixteen-year-old boy.
The ducks were flying in considerable
numbers, and Mr.. Cleveland bagged some
nineteen brant some ten broadbill dippers
and five shell ducks, thus easily beating
his record as a sportsman on Broadwater
Island. The days work is regarded as
highly satisfactory. The party returned

Clarke Davis, who is said to have been
overcome by the severe cold on Wednes-
day, which produced numbness In the
lower limbs resembling paralyss,s re-
ported to be greatly improved II Is UNDER
stood that no serious result was at any
time apprehended. Mr.. Davis is not con-
fined to his room.
President-eect Cleveland this afternoon
received an invitation from f.. N. Pike,
manager Of the Hygeia Hotel, at Old
Point Comfort, to spend a day or two at
that resort when his visit to Broadwater
is completed. In view of the fact that
Mr.. Cleveland will leave for the North
late Sunday evening IL is considered
improbable that he will accept this in
Yitation.
The programme for the remainder Of
Mr. Cleveland's stay upon the island Is
final all-day ducking expedition to-mcr-
row. quiet rest In doors on Sunday and
the homeward journey to commence at

company him. The President-elect will
be conveyed from the island in the steam

lands visit to Broadwater Island will
