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 

 ofiicials, 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 lbs. 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.
