Patent Elastic Saddles.

4 WORD TO THOSE WHO ARE FOND OF EASY
RIDING.
The complaint against hard and uneasy
saddles, which is for the most part just
and general one, and is really great gTie.
vance to those who have much riding to
do, has caused him TO turn his mind par
ticuIarly to that subject, with view, it
possible, to remedy the evil. tie can
with confidence assure the public that he
has accomplished it. The plan projected
is by means of strong and we'll tempered
steel springs, so constructed as to support
the saddle seat aud give much greater ease
to both rider and horse, than saddles made
in the common way or any other that be
has ever seen can possibly do. The plan
is entirely different from the English elias
tic saddles with spring bars OF steel,
whaIebone, &c. aud also from those with
wire springs, and he conceives much su.
perior TO either, as the elasticity is great
er, and the tree not being put out OF its o.
riginal form, viii not be subject 10 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 their superiority!
The invention is equally as applicable TO
LADIES' saddles as to gentlemeB's. In
point Of durability they will be warranted
equal to any other saddles and superior to
mostsx 'AHES VANsANf.
