YlHOMAS G. PRETTYMAN has lately Patenst
Il and is now Manufacturing, Spring Saddle, mud
superior to any that have hitherto been Offered to he
public. This improvement consists in the suspense
! of the whole seat by two springs, similar TO gl
spring, which being screwed on the back part ofa
cante ofthe saddle, receives iron bar, forming DE-
sweep Of the camille; thus preserving it from receH
any injury by horse rolling in the saddle; and MAXIM
the saddle tree more firm than it would otherwise
which cannot fail to give case to both horse and ride
frame also enters the back the cantle of the saddle
calculated to raise the valice or portmanteau and
il entirely clear of the horses back This can be p
on orremoved in moment.
Inordcr to prove to public the superiority ots
Saddles, he will give few extracts of letters frs
