It Was Raining on Broadwater Island and He Remained Indoors.

EXMORE, Va., Nov. 24 -- President-elect Cleveland is enjoying himself on Broadwater Island, the beautiful but isolated resort which is owned by the Broadwater Club. It is nineteen and eight-tenths miles from Exmore landing, which place is two miles from Exmore Station, on the New York, Philadelphia and Norfolk railroad. Mr. Cleveland and his friends, Charles B. Jefferson and L. Clarke Davis, are the guests of Joseph L. Ferrell, President of the club, at his cottage, which is a short distance from the club-house, the latter standing in a grove of pine trees a half of a mile inland. A heavy northwester, which continued steadily both yesterday and today, has prevented gunning and the party has remained quietly indoors. It is expected that the wind will fall sufficiently by tomorrow to allow the party to go duck shooting. The Sunshine will convey the guests opposite the blinds, when rowboats will be taken. Mr. Cleveland ate his Thanksgiving dinner at 5 p. m., the only persons present being his companions, Messrs. Davis and Jefferson, and the host, Mr. Ferrell.
