I'hey can be stalked with considerable case on a windy day, but cannot be run down no matter what the depth of snow, and so tiiey escape the hiitchery in the close season that too often fall, to the lot of moose and deer. As showing liow i)lentiful they arc, it may be mentioned that on Christmas day, 1894, seven large herds of caribou were visible at once on the ice of Little Sou-West f-ake.

When the sea trout are running excellent fishing is obtained at Irdiantown, on the Sou-West Miramichi, which is reached in five hours from Fred- ericton. Cains River, a noted stream for trout, is reached by fifteen miles of rail from Fredericton and a iiortage of ten miles. One of the finest trout streams in the province, the Bartibogue River, which was reser\-ed by the government from the recent sale of fishing privileges, is to be efficiently guarded henceforth and trout fishing per- mitted on it with the rod only at a fixed rate per day.
