accomplished it The plan projected is by means of
strong and well tempered steel springs, constructed
as to support the saddle seat, and give much greater
ease to rider and horse than saddles made in the
common way any other that he has everseen pos

gsh elastic saddles with spring bars Of Steel whale
bone sc. and also from those with wire springs; and
he conceives much superior to either the elasticity
is greater and the not beng put out Gifts original
form, viii not be bect to hurting horses on Journeys,
which complained ofin the saddles with spring bars
NUMBER of Gentlemen have those saddles now muse,
and but one sentiment exists among them in favor of
their superiority The inventionis equally as applica
