Philsdelphians who have had three days
shooting on the island. their fathers being
members Of the Broadwater Club. Charles

Mr.. Cleveland has promised to visit the
little island school during the coming week.

himself to answering such letters as require

vigorating salt air, are well calculated TO
both cure and prevent insomnia.

hocks of water fowl Redhead, brant,

settling into its bed and hourly becoming
more favorable for ducking. The prospects
for sport now appear better than at any
time during the present season. Floating
blinds have been constructed and when
MIR. Cleveland again goes cunning he will
have better opportunities for bagging game
than heretofore.
NEWSPAPERS NEGLECTED.

felt shoes.

steam yacht Sunshine has not touched at
any point on the mainland Her regular
trips have been temporarily discontinued in
order to discourage the passage of strangers

upon Mr.. Cleveland's privacy. During this
time the only means of transportation has
been by small sailboats, called "bateaux."

from three to five hours time, according to
the condition OF the wind and tide.
