SPRING SADDLES.

A WORD TO THOSE WHO ARE FOND or EASY RIDING.
The complaint against hard and uneasy saddles,
which is for the most part just and general one, and
is really grievance to those who have much riding to
do has caused him turn his mind particularly to that
subject, with view, ifpossbe, to remedy the evil
He can with confidence the public, that he has
accomplished it. The plan projected 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
siby do The plan is entirely different from the En-
gsh elastic saddles with spring bars OF steel, whale
Bone &C. and also from those with wire springs; and
he conceives much superior to ethe the elasticity
is greater and the tree not being put out of original
FORM will not be subject to hurting horses Journeys,
which complained of in the saddles with spring bars
number of gentlemen have those saddles now in use,
and but one sentiment exists among them in favor OF
their superiority The invention equally apphca-

Has lately patented, and is now manufacturing,
A SPRING SADDLE,

Nsch superior 10 ana that haze hitherto been offered to
the Public.
This improvement consists in the suspension OF the
whole seat by two springs, similar to gig spring,
which being screwed the back part OF the cantie OF
thesadde receives an iron bar, forming the sweep OF
the cantle thus preserving from receiving any injury
by horse rolling in the saddle and making the saddle
tree more firm than it would otherwise be, which can
not fail to give ease to both horse and dera frame al
so enters the back of the cante calculated to raise the
Valce or Portmanteau and kept entirely clear OF the
horses back-ths can be put on or removed IN mo-
ment Gentlemen DESTROYS of further explanation are
invited to cali at the store and examine the model
Persons out of the District wishing to purchase the pa
tent right will be dealt with on liberal terms appl
