a war Balloon That WORKS.

The German army is in possession

and actually steered against the wind

owing to an accident to the machinery.

are not greatly discouraged by this az

err, set thick with silver buttons and
rosettes; the pommel is encased with
SILVER, the corners of the apron are
tipped with it and tho stirrups are
faced and edged with silver half M

carved. The saddle-tree is hung with
silver rings TO answer the yaouero's
requirements.
The girth which secures the saddle

by nEtive artisans, and is fully eight
inches broad. The reins, martingnle
and whip are composed of solid ST.
