mour, of Quebec, and Mr. John Gilmour (now 

 Sir John Gilmour), of Glasgow. The fourth 

 member of the party was Mr. D. Law, of Mon- 

 treal. 



The fishing commenced on the 16th of June 

 with a score of 11 fish for the four rods, and ended 

 on the 17th of July. 



No less than 515 salmon fell victims to the ang- 

 ling skill of the Godbout party that year, with a 

 total weight of 5,493 pounds. 



Fish of 24 and 22 pounds and a number of 20 

 pounds and thereabouts were killed by Mr. Allan 

 Gilmour in 1869, but the heaviest salmon of the 

 year on the river fell to the rod of Mr. Gilmour, 

 of Quebec, and weighed 28 pounds. 



Mr. Gilmour, of Glasgow, had to his credit fish 

 of 26, 24, 23 and 21 pounds, but no salmon 

 weighing more than eighteen pounds trusted him- 

 self that year to the tender mercies of Mr. Law. 



Mr. Law's total score was 87 fish; that of Mr. 

 Gilmour of Quebec, 125, while Mr. Allan Gil- 

 mour scored 139, and his Scotch kinsman topped 

 the list with 164 to his credit. 



There were some good individual days' sport 

 that year, Mr. Gilmour, of Glasgow, getting 23, 

 20 and 14 respectively on three different days. 



Mr. Allan Gilmour's best days that year gave 

 him 16, 14, 12, 11, 11, 10, 10 and 10. 



Mr. Law made a score of 14 on the 3rd of July 

 and one of 12 on the 8th.
