superior to any that have hitherto been offered to the

any injury by horse rolling in the saddle; aud making
the saddle tree firm than it would otherwise be;
which cannot fail to give to both horse and rider
frame also enters the back Of the cantle OF the saddle,
calculated to raise the vace pormanteau and keep
entirely clear of the horses back This can be put
