Foremost in the list of exhibitors for beautiful workmanship stands the nameof Mr. W. D. Jones, of No. 5, High Street, Shrewsbury. This gentleman shows avery elegant racing saddle, designed and manufactured by himself, and exhibited forits extreme lightness, its comfort combined with elegance of shape, and the noveltyof its embellishments. The saddle is little if anything more than 21bs. in weight,though of course, that can always be increased to please the customerit is suffi-ciently long in the seat to give the greatest ease to the rider, -and it is embellishedwith bunches of roses, thistles, and shamrocks, interwoven with oak foliage andacornsthe whole of the ornamentation being executed in relief by hand labour only.The case containing this beautiful saddle is always surrounded by large numbers ofthe higher class of visitors to the Exhibition, to whom it appears to give universalsatisfaction. Mr. Jones was an exhibitor in Hyde-Park, of the Royal Albert ShotBelt, which is very highly approved, and extensively used by those classes who takea delight in the sports of the field.

W. D. J. begs to call particular attention to his very superior Hunting, SteepleChase , and Race Saddles, from 21bs. weight and upwards. Gig, Tandem, and everyother description of Harness, Hunting and Racing Horse Clothing. VentilatedHunting, and Steeple Chase Caps. London Whips and Brushes, &c. &c.

W. D. J. gratefully acknowledges the kind patronage he has experienced fromthe Nobility, Gentry, and the Public in all parts of the United Kingdom, and assuresthem that the same attention is paid in every department (to ensure good workman-ship and materials) which has for so long a period been the distinguished character 'of this establishment, and as his primary object is to make the best articles and tocharge the lowest price that the superiority of the work will allow, he trusts it willsecure to him a continuance of those esteemed favors he has hitherto received.
