Night Long. as the Teller Says
EXMoRE. Va, Nov. 21.-Nothwithstand-
ing that the Sabbath is considered q day of
rest President-elect Cleveland arose at $50
this morning. and took o brisk walk in the
vicinity of Mr.. Ferrelrs cottage. He aft
erward breakfasted and remained indoors
until afternoon. 1t was decided not to at
tend divine services at Rev. Sturgis's ISL
and church. at IL O'clock, as had been pre-
viously planned. About 2 o'clock this aft
ernoon Mr.. Cleveland and party took q drive
along the beach. The party was out for
over two hours. After their return the
regular 5-o'clock dinner was served. Mr..
Cleveland has promised to visit the little
island school during the coming week. he
Is expected oo tho first bright afternoon,
and Miss Florence Hudson. who superin-
tends this rather primative institution OF
learning. has placed everything In order
for the reception.
Mr.. Cleveland attends his own corre-
sDOndence. Almost every afternoon. when
the conditions are unfayOrable for shoot
ing. the President-elcct seats himself at
Mr.. FerrelPs private desk and faithfully
devotes himself to answering such letters as
require immediate and personal
MIR. Cleveland sleeps remarkably well,
seldom awakening during the night. The
perfect quiet which prevails. together with
the invigOrating salt air are well cal.
culated TO both cure and prevent insomnia.
The bay, to-day, Is literally aiive with
waterfowl. Floating blinds have been
constructed and when Mr.. Cleveland
again goes cunning he will have better Op-
portunitles for bagging game than hereto
fore.
During Mr.. Cleveland's residence on
Broadwater island he has given practically
no attention To the daily papers. Arrange
ments have been mad however, by which
be Will Tomorrow have an opportunity OF
perusing the leading metropolitan sheets.
When out for duck Mr. Cleveland is dressed
In q suit of heavy gray cloth. with a
double breasted sack coat. When the
water Is sufficiently rough to dash spray
over the boat. he adds a waterproof to
his heavy %overcoat. The outfit ie COM
pleted with u black slouch hat and q pair
of thick felt shoes. Although nothing defi-
mite has been determined regarding the
North, yet it is understood tonight that he
will leave about the middle of this week
for Cape Charles and will spend q couple of
days upon the estate of his old friend, the
late CONGRESSMAN William l.. Scott. of
Erie, Pa. 1t is his intention.
should it be carried out, that the
party should start homeward oN Fri
day or Saturday from Cape Charles.
According to this programme Mr.. Cleve-
land would not return TO BroadwateI ISL
and after his visit TO Squire Upshur's plan
tatiOn. where he will shoot partridges, but
take a south-bOund train ut Nassawadox. a
small station three miles below Exmore.

is situated one mile from Cape Charles.
and it is known as the largest and most
productive truck patch in the country.
