Patent Elastic Saddles.

WORD TO THOSE WHO ARE FOND OF EASY
The complaint against hard and uneasy
saddles, which is for the most part just
and general one, and is really great gre.
vance % those who have much riding to
do, has caused him to turn his mind par
ticularly to that -ubject. with view, II
possible, to remedy the evil. he can
with confidence assure the public that he
has accomplished it. The plan prof ected
is by means OF strong and well tempered
steel springs, so constructed as to support
the saddle seat and give much greater ease
to both rider and horse, than saddles made
IN the common way or any other that he
has ever seen can possibly do. The plan
is entirely differen, from the English elias
tic saddles with spring bars of steel,
whaIebune, &c. and also from those with
wire springs, and he conceiyes much SUI
perinr to either, as the elasticity is great.
er, and The tree not beng put out OF its o.
riginal torn, will tot 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 but one sentiment exists
among them in favor OF thei: superiority.
The invention is equally as applicable TO
ladies' saddles as to gentlemen's. In
point of durability they will be warranted
equal to any other saddles aud superior to
most. JAMEo VhNoANl.
