HUNTING AND FISHING GROUNDS AND PLEASURE RESORTS. 99 
NEW BRUNSWICK 
The foliowing description of the 
New Brunswick salmon rivers is from 
the pen of George A. Fay, Esq., of 
West Meriden, Connecticut : 
The three rivers, Miramichi, Ne- 
pisseguit, and Restigouche, are all 
reached by the Intercolonial Railway, 
which runs from St. Sohn, N. B., to 
Riviere du Loup on the St. Lawrence. 
If the Restigouche is the objective 
point I would recommend going via 
St. John and returning via Quebec 
to Boston, as the distance from the 
Restigouche to Boston is the same 
either way. Route from Boston to 
St. John by cars: Boston to Portland, 
108 miles; Portland to Bangor, 136 
miles; Bangor to St. Jolin, 205 miles. 
One through train daily from Boston 
to St. John, via Eastern Railroad at 
7% P.M., reaches Portland at 11.30 
P.M., and Bangor next morning at 
6.10 A. M.; connects there with Ku- 
ropean & North American Railroad, 
leaving at 7.20 A. M.; thus giving one 
hour and ten minutes for breakfast. 
Penobscot Exchange Hotel near the 
station; first-class. Arriving at St. 
John same day, 6.45 P. M., making 
449 miles and 24 hours’ time from 
Boston; fare, Boston to St. John, $10. 
Parties preferring can take one of the 
steamers (International Steamship 
Co.) which leave twice a week in 
Spring and Fall, and three times in 
the Summer at 8 A. M. from end of 
Commercial Wharf, Boston; fare, 
$5.50, exclusive of state-rooms and 
meals. 
Train leaves St. John, Intercolonial 
Railroad ( Northern Division), 8 A. 
M., arriving at Miramichi, town of 
Newcastle, 167 miles, about 5 P. M. 
Hotel, Waverly ; situated about quar- 
SALMON RIVERS. 
ter of a mile from Miramichi River; 
but no fishing here. Take a team sey- 
enteen miles up river to Indiantown, 
and go to Frank Jardin’s Hotel. A

season good, from the 10th to the 
20th of June; salmon only, ranging

pounds. Guides not indispensible.

noes. 
From Miramichi to Bathurst is 44 
miles; Bay View Hotel; no fishing in 
the immediate vicinity. The Nepis- 
seguit, famous for its salmon, empties 
here, but it is necessary to take a 
team up the river; good fishing nine 
miles up at Rongh Waters, and at 
points along up river to Grand Falls. 
Fishing may be done from the banks 
or in canoes. Guides plenty for $1 
per day. Scenery enchanting as you 
go up the river. Season does not us- 
ually commence till June 10th or

Summer. Permits necessary; charge
