Embarrassing Mistake.
Ex-Governor Fitzhugh Lee sent the
following telegram yesterday:
"Ron. Grover Cleveland. Gray Gables,
Mass
Subject OF dispatch yesterday was on
bulletin boards and In evening papers.
Action Of convention was based upon
f-l information: was complimentary,
o. course. and proves the interest felt
30 the State in everything relating TO you
personally"
The above dispatch was brought out,
q viii be remembered, upon the action
taken by the Gubernatorial Convention
Thursday TO the effect that a telegram
o. sent the President congratulating him
upon the alleged birth Of a little Grover
Cleveland. The report however. proved
% be erroneous, and Mrs. Cleveland was
on on a yachting trip at the time.
The following telegram explains itself:
Governor Fitzhugh Lee. Glasgow. Va:
who is responsible for the report?
Mrs Cleveland was out fishing. and Mr..
Cleveland was at home Yours.

yesterday. A box containing some pressed
flowers. bearing the stamp OF age, were

note:
These flowers were given Colonel
O'Ferrall when he was stumping Ac-
comac county for Governor Mckinney.
Colonel O'Ferrall presented the flowers
TO Mrs. W. =. Bell. who told him she
would keep them until he was Governor
and then return them. AS she considers
nomination equivalent TO an election, she
sends him these flowers with her sin
cerest congratulations"

pressed over the fact that the COM
