Il. III MAN mas lately Patented,
a. and is now Manufacturing, a Spring Saddle. much
superior to any that have hitherto been offered to ,s
public. This Improvement consists in the suspension
OF the whole seat by two C springs, similar 10 a gg
spring, which being screwed on the back part ofthe
cantIe oftIc saddle, receives arr Iron bar, forming Me
weep of the c%antlei thus preserving it from receiving
any injury BY . horse rolling in the saddle, and making
the saddle tree more firm than it would otherwise be-
which cannot fail to give ease to both horse and rider
A frame also enters the back ofthe camille ofthe saddle,
calculated to raise the Yalice or portmanteau, and keep
it entirely clear OF the horses back. This can be rC,
on orremoved in a moment.

Saddles, he will give a few extracts of letters from
those who have them in use-among whom is the late
