Respectfully solicits the attention of visitors to the elegant Race Saddle in above
Class, and exhibited by him at the Dublin Exhibition, 1853; when the following*handsome testimony of it appeared in the London Morning Post: •
“ 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 customer—it 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 andacorns—the whole of the ornamentation being executed in relief by hand labour only.The case containing this beautiful saddle is always surrounded by large number’s 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.”
