The London Morning Post thus speaks of the Race Saddle now at the Paris Exhibition, made by the Advertiser:—
“Foremost in the list of exhibitors for beautiful workmanship stands the name of Mr. W. D. Jones, of Shrewsbury. This gentleman shows a very elegant racing saddle, designed and manufactured by himself, and exhibited for its extreme lightness, its comfort combined with elegance of shape, and the novelty of its embellishments. The saddle is little if anything more than 2lbs. in weight, though, of course, that can always be increased to please the customer; it is sufficiently long in the seat to give the greatest ease to the rider, and it is embellished with bunches of roses, thistles, and shamrocks, interwoven with oak foliage and acorns—the whole of the ornamentation being executed in relief by hand labour only. The case containing this beautiful saddle is always surrounded by large numbers of the higher class of visitors to the Exhibition, to whom it appears to give universal satisfaction. Mr. Jones was an exhibitor in Hyde Park of the Royal Albert Shot Belt, which is very highly approved and extensively used by those who take a delight in the sports of the field.”
