to-day.
Mr.. f. G.. Leigh, Jr., president, and Mr.. J.
L. Antrim treasurer of the Rich mond Asso-
citation. we're appointed delegates to represent
the Richmond trade.
The following important paper was then
laid before the meeting for its action:
We hereby agree 10 report all cases OF. I'M
inst reclamation" and claims made upon us
to the local committee for careful arbitration;
and if such cases are declared by the commit
tee 70 be unjust and improper the name OF
the marty prefeIring such claims. with a sim
ple statement OF the facts, Will be forwarded
to the office of the National wholesale
Grocers' Association in New York TO De sent
from that Office TO ali the wholesale grocers III
the United States and other jObbefs in other
lines. 70 the end that they may rightly de-
ternnine the value Of business relations with
parties who make such claims and reJectlons.
This action taken in connection with the
National Association is IN the interest as
much of the straightforward and honest re-
taller AS it is in the interest OF the honest
wholesaler.
A small but growing class Of small traders
have sprung Up in the United States who
make hAbit of rejecting goods, without Just
cause. for the purpose OF securing rebates
snficient to cover freight charges. and thus
epable them 10 undersel their honest neigh
bors and competitors, who hold such prac-
tees in contempt, and are thus made 10 suffer
in their efforts 10 do legitimate business
It is the duty of the National Association,
By resolute action in dealing with such unfair
competitors of their honest patrons. to ex
tinqnish this class Of crimes by giving public
ity to their authors, and by every lawful
method that can be devised.
Bv no class will such action on the part of
the National Association be hailed with more
satisfaction than by the honest retailers OF
the United States who so keenly feel the
weight Of the unjust competition TO which
they ARE subjected
The urgent necessity for the action provided
for in the agreement was recognized by al,
and resolution was unanimously adopted
endorsing its provisions. which it is intended

Spring Riding Saddle.

Most OF those who have done much
horseback riding have sad recollectiong
Of having had at one time or another to
Jog along for weary miles on the back of
an i'll bred. straight patterned nag,
whose every step Jared every nerve IN
the body and aroused the most pro-
nounced feelings Of resentment. Accord
ing 70 the inventor Of a new saddle, sucn
memorable incidents as these need never
more occur and the horseback riding q
the future will bs pure, unmixed delight.
This saddle owes IL peculiar merit 70 a
series Of springs. The upper saddietres
or seat IS connected with the lower SIM
ply by these springs. 90 there Is nothing
TO interfere with that free working with
out which no spring saddle can fulhI
the purpose and object of its c0nstruc-
tion, viz, 20 relieve the rider from ths
constant jolt experienced IN riding on =
springless saddle. The springs are cons
shaped, working within each other, and
arc made Of tempered steel wire y
placed between the wooden tres ard ths
upper tree or frame seat consisting u a
steel wire bent % the shape q the lower
tree and ciasped by brass bauds which
cross each other a. % work freely
