Mr. Cleveland Kept Indoors by Rough Weather.

A NORTHWESTER PREVENTS GUNNING.

The President Elect Was Cordially Received by the People and is Enjoying Excellent Health -- If the Wind Falls He Will Shoot Ducks Today.

EXMORE, VA., Nov. 24. -- President-elect Cleveland is enjoying himself quietly on Broadwater Island, the beautiful but isolated resort which is owned by the Broadwater Club. The President elect and his friends, Charles B. Jefferson and L. Clarke Davis, are the guests of Joseph L. Ferrell, president of the club, at his cottage. Mr. Cleveland and his two friends arrived at Exmore station early yesterday morning.

Although the hamlet contains but thirteen houses, and five of them stores, nearly 500 people welcomed the distinguished guest and gave him a cordial reception, both at the station and landing. Mr. Cleveland acknowledged this welcome by uncovering his head and shaking hands with the gathering. At 8.30 the steam launch Sunshine conveyed the trio to Broadwater Island.

Although the object of Mr. Cleveland's visit is to secure absolute quiet and much needed rest, he expects to spend some time in duck-shooting. A heavy northwester, which continued steadily both yesterday and today, has prevented gunning and the party has remained quietly indoors. Mr. Cleveland is in excellent health.

A reporter of the United Press went to the island today and presented his card to the President elect. He was received courteously, but Mr. Cleveland begged to be excused from submitting to an interview. He, however, expressed himself as being delighted with his surroundings and said it was his intention to remain on the island for five or six days. Then he will join Mrs. Cleveland at Lakewood, N. J. It is probable, however, that if the President elect's plans are interrupted by callers he will stay several days longer.

Since Mr. Cleveland's arrival it has been remarkably cold for this locality. It is expected that the wind will fall sufficiently by tomorrow to allow the party to go ducking. Mr. Cleveland will eat his Thanksgiving dinner at 5 P. M., the only persons present being his companions, Messrs. Davis, Jefferson and the host, Mr. Ferrell.
