Is two miles from Exmore station, on the
! New York, Philadelphia and Norfolk

island.
The island contains a population Of
twenty-one families. At the late election
thirty-one votes were polled, and they
were all for Cleveland. The President
elect and his friends. Charles g. Jeffer-
son and L. Clarke Davis, are the guests
OF Joseph l.. Terrell. president OF the
club. at his cottage, which is a short dis
lance from the clubhouse.

at Exmore station shortly after 5 o'clock
yesterday morning. but the party re-
NAMED In the private car OF General
Superintendent Kenny. of the Philadel-
phia. Wilmington and Baltimore railroad,
In which the trip was made until o'clock.

teen houses, and five Of them are stores,
nearly five hundred people welcomed the

reporter Of the United Press went to
the island to-day and presented his card
to the President-elect. He was received
courteously, but Mr. Cleveland begged to
be excused from submitting TO an inter
view. He, however expressed himself
as being delighted with his surround
ings. and said 1t was his intention to re-
main on the island for five or six days.
Then he will join Mrs. Cleveland at Lake

If the President-elect's plans are not in
terrupted by callers he will stay several
days longer.
The clubhouse contains but four guests,
three college students from Philadelphia,
who are here for duck shooting, and the

possible that more Isolated spot could
have been selected, where Mr.. Cleveland
might be free from the various annoy
ances to which he was subjected in New
York. sThe islands population with the
exception Of the crew OF the United States
life-savng station, are in the employ of
the club.

this locality. 1t is expected that the wind
will fall sufficiently by tomorrow 10 al

Sunshine will convey the guests opposite
the blinds, when row-boats will be taken.
The yacht will remain i'm waiting so that
the party can find shelter when suffering
from the cold.

being his companions, Messrs Davis,
