HUNTING RECOLLECTIONS. 87 



LADIES' SADDLES. 



I consider Messrs. Champion & Wilton's 

 saddles are quite the most comfortable, and if 

 you have one of their foremen down to point 

 out to your groom the exact spot where the 

 saddle should be placed, you stand very little 

 chance of a sore back ; and with the patent 

 stirrup it is most unlikely you will find yourself 

 in the very undesirable position of hanging 

 head downwards if your horse makes a mistake. 



Before all these comforts of safety stirrups 

 and patent skirts were invented, Charles Tabor 

 used to say, " It's fortunate you have a tidy pair 

 of boots ; I see them nearly as often as your 

 hat." And his remark brings me to the subject 

 of boots. I can safely say, nothing can compare 

 with the comfort of Messrs. Hartley's boots; if 

 you get a pinch in a gateway or against a tree, 

 you never see mto feel it. 



HUNTING HATS. 



There can be but one opinion of the hats 

 made by Messrs. Robert Heath & Co., of 

 Knightsbridge — they don't come off at the first 

 fence, and you don't get a headache. 



One's comfort is very much increased by 

 getting clothes from establishments where they 

 thoroughly understand the business.
