with confidence assure the public that he has

other that he has ever seen can possibly De-
The plan is entirely different from the English
elastic saddles with spring bars of steel, whale

elasticity is greater, and the tree not being put

hurting horses on Journeys (which is complained

gentlemen have those saddles now in use, and

us of the progress OF the French army
