which is owned by the Broadwater Club. II
Ia nineteen miles from Exmore landing.
which place ia two miles from Exmoro
station on the New York, Philadelphia and
Norfolk railroad. The private steam launch
Sunshihe plies between the laudi and the
island over course which follows Machi-
pingo creek for 81 miles. The island is
nine miles long and three miles wide and
contains q population of twenty-one
families. At the late election thirty-one
votes were pollsd aud they were all for Mr..
Cleveland.
THE HOST.
The President-elect and bis friends
Charles B. Jefferson and l.. Clarke Davis.
are guests Of Joseph L. Ferrall, president Of
the club, at his cottage, which is a short
distance from the club house, the latter
standing in a grove OF piue trees, half a
mile inland. MIR. Davis is a member OF the
club. Mr.. Cleveland and his two friends
arrived al Exmore station shortly after 5
o'clock yesterday morning, but the
party remained In the private car
OF General Superintendent Kenny Of the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
railroad until 8 O'Clock. Although the ham
let contains but thirteen houses, and five of
them are stores, nearly 800 people welcomed
the distinguished guest and gave him cor
dial reception. both at the station and at the
landing. MIR. Cleveland acknowledged this
welcome by uncovering his head and shak-
ing hands with the gathering. At $50
O'Clock the Sunshine conveyed the trio to
Broadw Island.
To DO SOME DUCK SHOOTING.
Although the object Of Mr.. Cleveland's
visit is to secure absolute quiet and much
needed rest, he expects to spend some time
In duck shooting. A heavy northwest
which continued steadily both yesterday
and to-day has prevented cunning and the
party has remained indoors. Mr.. Cleye-
land is In excellent health.
A reporter of the United Press went to
the island to-day and presented his card to
the President-elsct. he was received cour.
teously. but Mr.. Cleveland begged to be ex-
oused from submitting to an interview, He.
however, expressed himself as being de-
lighted with his surroundings, and said it
was his intention to remain on the island
tiye or six days. Then he will join Mrs.
. Cleveland at Lakewood, N. J. It ia proba-
bic, however, that IL the President-elect's
PAoA0 ~ Ahsoh uPVoA Oy VhAAofb ub WILL stay
several days longer.
FAR FROM THE AADDING CROWD.
The club house contains but four guests.
three college students from Philadelphia who
are here TOR duck shooting, and a United
Press reporter. 1t does not seem possible
that more isolated spot could have been
selected where Mr.. Cleveland might be
free from the various annoyances to which
he is subjected in New York. The Islands
population, with the exception of the crew
OF the United States life saving station, are
in the employ of the club. Since Mr..
Cleveland's arrival the weather has been
remarkably cold for this locality. 1t Is ex-
pected that the wind will fall suffic-
iently by tomorrow to allow the
party to 60 duck shooting. The
Sunshine will convey the gnests opposite
the blind, when rowboats will be taken.
The yacht will remain in waiting so that
the party can find shelter when suffering
from cold. One-fourth of Broadwater
Island is covered with splendid growth of
pines. hollys, sassafras and orchards Of fig
trees. This portion is a succession Of
mounds, but the remainder is level aud
slopes gradually to what is considered the
finest beach In America. The beach has
continuous length of 101l miles
aud is perfectly smooth and of such soIidtty
that a carriage with narrow tires makes no
impression upon it Mr.. Cleveland ate his
Thanksgiving dinner at o'clock, the only
persons present being his companions
Messrs. Davis, Jefferson and the host, Mr.
Eerrell
