AMERICAN SADDLES.
They Are Shipped to All Parts of the
World.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
The American saddle has now pene-
trated to all lands as thoroughly as
the American wheel, loc1mptive or
typewriter. One can drop into almost
any prominent local saddlemaker's
show rooms, especially the wholesale
dealers, and find orders going to dis
tant parts of the globe.
During the past year or so there has
been great change and a wonderful
development in American saddles. The
black saddle is a thing of the past. 1t
is only question of probably few
months until the fair leather saddle
will be adopted by the army. 1t has
already been adopted by the National
Guards in all states, and the guards
men have found it SO superior to the
old black saddle that. like the tan
shoe, it has come to stay. 1t is not
only more durable, but looks better
when new and improves in appearance
with age. 1t needs no polishing, as the
black saddles constantly required, and
for summer campaigning it is much
cooler both for the horse and the rider.
The civilian rider was the first to
discover the superior merits of the fair
" I
is made for him more extensively than
for the military rider. Some of the up
to-date park saddles shown in the To-
cal salesrooms are truly works of art
compared to the cumbersome, ill-fitting
| saddles of ten years ago. Pigskin is
the material used in the finest grades
of fair leather saddles, and, strange
to say, while the American saddle
r, ,s,,.r Ia
| best pigskin saddles in the world, they
are compelled to- use imported leather.
| They all say that the American tanned
pigskin is not up to the mark, and that
| there is room for the tanners of this
country to get into this fiC'd with large
profits If they can only ;urn out leath-
er that will hold up TO the imported
pig.
The trees which go into the Ameri.
| can saddle are acknowledged 10 be bet
ter than the trees of any other country
and the treemakers are doing a large
| export business as well as controlling
! the local market entirely. They have
| the art of saddle-tree making down. to
the point that any horse or pony can
| easily be fitted unless he is abnormal
| ly formed.
Saddlers d not slap any kind of n
| tree on horse and fill up the ill-fittin1
! places with thick blankets, as former
| ly. Such a great variety of trees are
made that a horse IS fitted comfort
ably, and one thin saddle cloth is al
| that is necessary between the saddle
and the animal. There is no need Of
| sore backs any more The rider and
horse can both be comfortable on tbs
| longest Journey.
