hames should break there is no knowing what the result may be. 

 Some people have different opinions on the material of the 

 mountings, for instance, a great many have silver or German 

 mountings, others have brass (which looks exceedingly well when 

 made of the best quality) and again, others prefer a metal called 

 nickel silver or white metal, the latter is extensively used abroad ; 

 the old established firm of Thomas Venables, (late Harvey) 

 Bradford Works, Walsall, have at the present time a large order 

 for the latter material on hand for Australia. As an improvement 

 to the looks of the harness we should advise the use of ornaments 

 or, what are now more fashionable, monograms or initials, which 

 can be made easily by giving the first letter of christian and 

 surname, they look neat and are easier cleaned. 



Dawes' Horse Cloths, Halter Webs, Nets, Oilcloth, Cart, 

 Waggon, and Eick Sheets are considered superior in every respect 

 to anything in the market. Mr. Dawes manufactures all kinds 

 of twines, packing, &c., while all descriptions of cotton waste, 

 flax, hemp, tar, shoe threads, &c., are always kept in stock by 

 him in large quantities. 



Mr. Arthur Hart's Saddlery Webs, of every description, 

 are manufactured in wool, union, linen, cotton, and jute, and are 

 considered the best in the market. Mr. Hart has also patented 

 some Braces, specially adapted for cavalry use, the sword belt 

 being suspended from the Braces the weight on the belt is dis- 

 tributed over the body, and there is no possibility of the belt 

 appearing below the shell jacket. 



Brecknell's Saddle Soap. — This article being now so 

 extensively used our readers will scarcely need to be informed 

 that it stands generally so high in favour for its merits. It is 

 only necessary for us to say that it is without question unequalled 

 for cleaning saddles, and that it helps to preserve the leather, at 

 the same time giving to it a nice appearance. The fact that 

 it is used in royal and hunting stables, as well as by the Army, 

 speaks for its excellence. 



Jamieson & Go's Harness Composition is one of 



the best known in the trade. It produces a brilliant black polish 

 on every description of leather, instead of, as with some polishes 

 for harness which produce a black polish, destroy the leather, 

 through having some deleterious acid in their manufacture. 

 This celebrated composition is very nutritious to the leather, and, 

 in addition, renders it waterproof, which is a desideratum. The 

 Author has known this composition for many years, and can 

 recommend it as the best he has ever used.
