GROWERS THUMB HURT.
TIE INJURY CoMPELS HIM TO
GIVE Up HIS DAYS SPORT.

The Wound Painful But Not at All
Serious-A Possibility That the Pres-
ident-Elect VIII Prolong His Stay
TIL Next Week-A Reassuring Dis
patch From Mrs. Cleveland.
ExMoRE. VA, Nov. 2s.-Ths sky was
darkened by heavy clouds throughout the
entire day, although there was no actual
fall Of rain.
Owing to the prospects OF continued dis
agreeable weather it was decided not TO at
tempt any duck shooting to-day.
This forenoon Mr.. Cleveland went out on
the beach for the purpose of hunting suipe,
but met with an accident which necessitated
his return to the cottage. In attempting 10
lock bis gun the President-elect hurt his
thumb. The wound was not in the least
serious, but quite painful. Mr. Ferrell.
president of the Broadwater Club. who is by
profession a surgeon, dressed the injured
thumb and somewhat alleviated the pain.
Shortly after noon Mr.. Cleveland took a
stroll on the beach, and afterT ard quietly
remained indoors. devoting his attention TO
reading and writing.
PLANS FOR TODAY.
Extensive preparations for cunning have
been made for tomorrow. A scow, with
broad ends, has been fitted up as q floating
blind. Sedge and eel grass has been nailed
around the entire top. Everything In the
boat has been arranged with view TO Mr..
Cleveland's comfort. The scow will be
towed to Peters channel, where 10 is ex-
pected to spend the entire day duckinR.
Mr.. Cleveland did not desire to try shoot
ing again in small boat. He said he was
not afraid of capsizing the boat but feared
the boat might capsize him.
HIS FUTURE PROGRAMME.
The future plans of Mr.. Cleveland are
still matters of uncertainty and conjecture.
He is expected to spend day at Squire
Upshur's partridge shooting, but the exact
time has not been definitely fixed. 1t is also
said that he may be the guest of the Acco-
mac Club at Belle Haven, two miles east OF
this place on the Atlantic coast. where a
preserve OF 900 acres is reserved for
the members of the CLUB. The
Old Dominion Club also expects him
to pertake Of their hospitality. This club
has 900 acres preserved eighteen miles
north of Belle Haven at place which is
locally called Drum Head, but Is officially
known as Wachaprague. 1t is, however,
considered improbable that Mr.. Cleveland
will accept either invitation.

ferson will return TO Exmore tomorrow

Mr.. Cleveland will remain eight or ten days
yet, extending his visit into next week.
A lumber of strangers from the eastern
shore called on Mr.. Cleveland this after
