CAPE CHARLES, Va, June 2.-President
Cleveland did not make very early start
for the fishing grounds this morning, as
was arranged last night. He was ready at
o'clock, after having enjoyed very
hearty breakfast. which consisted chiet-
ly of fresh fish and oysters, some
of tho fish having been caught by

however did not lessen the Presidents
sport. as sail boats ere used instead of tho
steamer TO reach the fishing grounds at
the south end Of Hog Island. distance OF
only two miles.
FISH PLENTIFUL.
The party threw out their lines at half
past and found fish more plentiful than
at the north end, where they fshed yes
terday. About o'clock very severe
rain-storm passed over the lower penin-
sula, but fortunately did not reach Hog
Island. II passed off to the westward, and
did not interfere with the sport IN Broad
water, although at one time 1t grew very
dark. and fears were entertained OF being
driven to the shore.
The President succeeded IN catching
seven large drum and good many sea-
trout and other smaller fish. and the othe-
members of the party were not far behind
in their catch. which places to-day's sport
ahead Of the two previous expeditions.
The party returned TO the clubhouse at
$3.50 and turned the largest Of their fish
over to the servants for shipment to Wash
ington and other places.
BACK To WASHINGTON To-NfGHT.
The President will make an unusually
early start for the fishing grounds to-mor-
row To try his luck for the last time before
leaving tor Washington i'll the evening.
