Leases are generally executed for nine years. They may 

 be drawn so as to include the estuaries for netting, or merely 

 to cover the privilege of rod-fishing. Some of the scores 

 made by rod-fishermen are very handsome. Last year, 

 Messrs. Havemeyer, Harriott, and three friends of New York 

 City, killed 148 salmon in the St. John (Du Nord), between 

 the 18th day of June and the 13th July. Four Canadian 

 officials, comprising the Governor-General and party, killed 

 202 salmon in seven days in the Grand Natashquan. The 

 lessees of the Moisie killed 325 fish in two weeks ; average 

 weight, 18 Ibs. In the Godbout, 509 fish were killed between 

 June 15th and July 15th. As there are two or three in- 

 different anglers in every party, the "heft" of the score 

 should be credited as a rule to two rods, when the party 

 comprises four or five persons.
