found satisfactory, only minor changes

wooden side bars of the saddle y.ll be
cut away in the center third, they
having been found too convex, and the
fronts OF the bars will be curled out
wardly to give greater freedom of &C

order that they may be made to con-

was found to give a less number of
sore backs than either the service
blanket or hair saddle pads. The pom.

rife was found satisfactory. but it was
found that the small of the stock on
