Cape Charles, Va., May 31. -- Special car No. 180, of the Pennsylvania Railroad, with President Cleveland and his party arrived at Exmore at 2:30 this morning. The members of the party remained in the car until 7:45 a. m., when they were driven to Willis Wharf, and went on board the steamer Sunshine, which immediately started for Broadwater, or Hog Island. It is not definitely known how long the President will remain at Broadwater Club.

When the steamer Sunshine arrived at Broadwater landing this morning at 8:30, Mr. Cleveland was standing on her bow and seemed to be enjoying the southwesterly breeze which was blowing freely. He was the first to leave the steamer, but was closely followed by L. Clarke Davis and Dr. Bryant. Breakfast was served at the clubhouse at 9:30. Directly after breakfast the party appeared upon the porch of the clubhouse attired in their sporting costumes, ready for a fishing expedition. The President, accompanied by L. Clarke Davis, and with "Tom" Doughty as guide, was the first to make a start for the fishing grounds, reaching them about 11:30. The party could not have wished for a more favorable day for their sport and took advantage of the opportunity by remaining until 7:30 p.m., bringing back with them about 150 fish, of which over fifty were large bluefish and the rest spots, hogfish and trout. The President was more than pleased with his first day's sport and expects to try it again to-morrow if the weather continues favorable.
