Indian, African, Australian, and Canadian Markets. 



Exhibition, Bingley Hall, Birmingham.— stand No. 47, occnpied by Mr. Joseph 

 A. Bamsby, 136, Lichfieli Street, U'alsall, is a worthy representative of the far-famed saddle- 

 making town. Absolutely confined to Horse trappings, Mr. Bamsby has contrived, not by 

 articles manufactured specially for exhibition, but merely by the showing of specimens of his 

 ordinary manufacture, to make his stand one of the most attractive in the Hall, On it are 

 to be found saddles of every description. The whole of the exhibits are made in a way that 

 shows the excellency of the workmanship, and several are most ornate and tasteful, and have 

 been highly commended by makers in the trade. The hogskin saddles and pilches in particular, 

 for ladies and juveniles, are inlaid with beautiful patterns, while those for more arduous work 

 are compact and neat. Among the special saddles of the stand are the new British army 

 regulation infantry staff officer's saddle, all-over ho ;skin, with basil lining ; the Cape police 

 officer's and travelling saddle, specially adapted for lengthened riding ; and the ladies' saddle, 

 fitted with lever-spring top safe. Another exhibit is Barnsby's patent stirrup-leather bar. 

 This, although simple in its mechanism, is most effective in its action. In case of accident the 

 rider's foot is instantly released from the saddle, and he is thus prevented being dragged by the 

 horse. This bar has been in nse for several years, and has gained for itself a high name 

 among horsemen who are exposed to accidents.
