SADDLE and H9R.NES.S
Patent Elastic Saddles.
A word to those fond Of easy Riding

The complaint against hard aud uneasy sad
dies, which is for the most part just and gene
raj one, and is really a great grievance 10 those
who have much riding 10 do, has caused him TO
turn his mind particularly to that subject, with
a view, if possible, to remedy the evil He can
with confidence assure the public that he has
Accomplishment. The plan projected, is by means
OF strong aud 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 amy
other that he has ever seen can possibly do
The plan is entirely difierent from the English
elastic saddles with spring bars of steel, whale
hone, &c. and also from those with wire springs,
aud he conceives much superior TO either, as the
elasticity is greater, and the tree not being put
out Of its original form, will not he 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
hut one sentiment exists among them In favor
of their superiority. The invention is equally
rs applicable to ladies' saddles as To seniemen's.
In poMt of durability they will be warranted e.
quail TO any other saddles and superior TO most.
