Patent Elastic Saddles.

A WORD TO THOSE WHO ARE FOND OF EASY
RIDING.
The complaint against hard and uneasy
saddles, which is for the most part just
aud gene raj one, and is really great gre.
vance to those who have much riding to
do, has caused HIM 10 turn his mind par
tcuIsrly to that -ubect, with view, ii
possible, to remedy tbs evil. lie can
with confidence assure The public that ne
has accomplished it. The plan 'rcJecied
is by means Of strong a,d well tempered
steel springs, SO constructed as 10 support
the saddle seat aHd give much greater t ase
tc both rider and horse, than saddles made
IN the common way or any Other that he
has ever seen can possibly DO. The l. an
is entirely dif4eren, trom the English eias-
tic saddles with spring bars of steel,
wha!ebone, sc. and slsu from those with
wire springs, and he conceives much su-
perinr TO either, as the elasticity IS great.
er, and the tree not being put out OF It's o.
rIginal torn, will Iol be subject TO hurting
horses on journeys, which is complained
OF IN the saddles with spring bars. A
number of gentlemen have those saddles
now IN use, and out one sentiment exists
among them 10 favor OF their superiority.
The invention is equally as applicable TO
ladies' saddles as TO gentenen's. In
point OF durability they will be warranted
equal 10 any other saddles aud superior to
most. JAMES VANSANT.
