Patent Spring Saddles.

A WOMB TO THOSE WHO FOND OF EASY RIDING.
The complaint against hard and uneasy saddles,
which is for the most part, just and general one, and
is rea! grievance to those who have much riding to
do has caused him to turn his mind particularly to that
subject, with view if possible to remedy the evil
lie can with confidence assure the public that he has
accomplished it. rhe 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 i'll the
common way any other that he has seen
siblv 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
Ire conceives much superior to either the elasticity
is greater and the not being put out ofts original
FORM will not be subject to hurting horses on Journeys,
which is complained ofn 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 invention is equally as apPlca
BILE to ladies' saddles to gentlemens, Any person
DESTROYS of purchasing those easy saddles is at liberty
first to make trial of one and Judge of their ease for
themselves. In point of durability they viii be war
ranted equal any other saddles and superior to most
