GROVER IN OUR STATE.
HE IS ACTUALLY GUNNING ON BODIES ISLAND.
The Yacht With the Presidential Party On Board Spent Six Hours at Washington, N. C., Yesterday—Mr. Cleveland Leads as a Marksman—The Hunt on the Island Will Be Continued To-morrow
WASHINGTON, N. C., May 19—President Cleveland, Secretary Carlisle and Secretary Gresham spent six hours here today. They came on the steamer Violet, which coaled up at the government yards and left a supply of oil for the light houses.
The party killed 385 birds on Bodies Island Friday, the president leading with 144. Near Hatteras, the catch of blue fish and drum surpassed anything Grover ever saw. It beat the Adirondacks. Monday they take another hunt on Bodies Island, then go direct to Washington City. The President has not been to Morehead at all. He is delighted with this second visit to North Carolina and expects to return in the fall and take a deer hunt in Hyde Park.
The party came to North Carolina solely for recreation and pleasure, and have enjoyed the visit exceedingly and feel much rejuvenated.
On points political, they were all reticent. As the Violet steamed out, they all stood on deck and acknowledged the salutes of the people who lined the wharves.
