The President Again Tries His Luck at Fishing -- His Departure for Washington.

By Telegraph to The Landmark.

CAPE CHARLES, Va., June 3. -- President Cleveland and party left Broadwater club house [on Hog Island] at 6 o'clock this morning to try his luck at fishing for the last time before taking their departure for home, and at 1 o'clock this afternoon the President walked into the clubhouse to prepare for the trip. While the President was not as successful to-day as he was yesterday with his catch, he expressed himself as being well satisfied with the last expedition and felt much benefitted from his short vacation, which has been spent so pleasantly as the guest of the Broadwater Club. The President's appearance to-day is by no means what it was when he arrived at Broadwater, and instead of the pale and tired look, the result of his arduous duties at the Executive Mansion, he looks the picture of health, and said to-day that he felt equal to the hard work ahead of him.

The party boarded the steamer Sunshine at 5:30 this evening and two hours later the little steamer arrived at Willis' Wharf, where a wait of one hour was made for a luncheon, which was served on board the steamer. The President and party then seated themselves upon the deck and indulged in a smoke which the President seemed to enjoy very much. A large crowd of people gathered at Willis' Wharf to get a look at the President, and were extremely gratified at thr opportunity of viewing their Chief Magistrate while he sent smoke curling from a Havana for at least half an hour in full view of the spectators, lifting his hat now and then in acknowledgment of their applause.

The President shook hands with several of the old gentlemen who offered their hands as he was about to step into his carriage for the drive to Exmore station. Another crowd of people had gathered at the station and although it was rather dark the people crowded close to the carriage and followed the President to the car which was standing on the sidetrack, apparently satisfied with the result of their effort to get a view of the President. At 10:31 the New York express left Exmore with the special car attached to the rear of the train amid shouts of "hurrah for Grover."
