new  lace.  When  we  re-cover  a  belt  with  new  lace  we  also  clean  the  old  metal 
trimmings,  so  that  the  re-covered  belt  looks  almost  as  well  as  a  new  one.  The 
convenience  and  economy  of  having  belts  re-covered  will  be  appreciated  by  officers 
who  have  been  promoted,  and  by  those  whose  belts  have  become  badly  worn. 

Our  prices  for  re-covering  belts  are  as  follows:

Essentials  of  Mili- 
tary Legginps.  —  In- 
fantry Military  Leggings 
should  be  made  of  strong, 
durable  duck,  mid  made 
straight  at  the  top.  Height, 
is  a  question  of  preference, 
but  twelve  inches  is  ample 
protection.  Everything 
about  leggings  should  be 
a  part  of  them,  or  fastened 
to  them  in  such  a  manner 
as  not  to  come  off.  They 
should  be  so  made  that  one 
part  will  not  wear  out  be- 
fore another,  and  for  that 
reason  the  edge  must  nol 
be  bound  either  with 
leather  or  cloth,  neither 
must  a  raw  edge  be  ex- 
posed. Buckles  and  straps 
should  be  riveted  into  the 
leggings,  not  sewed  on. 
The  fastening  ought  never 
to  be  positive,  like  buttons, 
heavy  snap  springs,  patent 
idovi!  bul  hm'  clasps,  etc., 
all  of  which  admit  of  no 
play,  but  the  legging  must 
nevertheless  fit  exactly.  The  fastening  should  he  of  something  that  will  oiler  the  least  possible  re- 
sistance to  brush,  etc.,  and  yot  be  capable  of  quick  adjustment.  All  of  the  foregoing  essentials  are 
comprised  in  the  patent  lace  Leggings  adopted  by  the  V.  S.  Army  in  1887,  and  listed  below  as 
Standard  Army  Leggings  (No.  1).  The  fastening  consists  of  grommet  holes,  list  and  smooth,  in 
front  flap,  and  heavy  army  studs  in  rear  flap,  a  combination  that  offers  practical]}-  no  resistance  to 
bushes,  etc.,  and  also  "gives"  with  the  motion  of  the  leg,  and  thus  renders  walking  easy. 

No.  1.     Standard  Army  Leggings:  made  of  Standard  army  duck,  in  tan 
or  white  color,  with  patent  army  lace  fastening;   12  inches  high.

WHITMAN    RIBRER-EOOTED     STIRRUPS. 

The  "Whitman  Stirrup. — In  whatever  ways  stirrups  have  been  improved,  excepting  the 
wooden  stirrup,  there  is  only  one  other  stirrup  (the  Whitman)  in  the  market  that  will  prevent,  the 
foot  from  slipping.  The  Whitman  Stirrup  is  elegant  in  appearance,  is  of  proper  weight,  and  bv 
nieaus  of  a  neat  rubber  mat  countersunk  in  its  foot-plate  prevents  the  foot  from  slipping.  A  pair 
of  these  Stirrups  may  be  used  a  good  while,  and  then  may  be  made  as  good  as  new  by  replatiug 
anil  substituting  new  rubber  mats  for  the  old  ones.  No  person  who  has  used  the  Whitman  Stirrup- 
will  ever  be  satisfied  with  any  other  kind.

Points  Of  Excellence.— The  Whitman  Bits,  with  the  Whitman  Snap  Hook  Attachment, 
are  recomnicndable  for  their  lightness,  elegance,  economy,  and,  above  all,  strength.  They  combine 
the  common  riding  hit  and  hradoon  in  one.  They  are  not  hard  on  the  horse's  mouth,  and  at  tlie 
same  time  they  invest  the  rider  with  great  power  to  control  his  horse.

Their  Use. — Attached  to  the  solo  of  the  shoe  and  trousers  on  the  inner  side  of  the  foot  they 
arc  entirely  concealed  from  view,  and  the  trousers  hang  naturally.  The  rider's  appearance  is  there- 
by greatly  improved,  his  comfort  increased,  and  his  trousers  are  secured  from  injury.  The  end- 
hooks  being  connected  with  a  spiral  spring,  they  will  fit  any  shoe.  Longer  and  shorter  lengths  can 
be  furnished  if  desired.  No  buttons  on  the  trousers  are  necessary.  '1  he  straps  can  be  put  on  or 
taken  off  in  an  instant. 


No.  460F.     Ready  Riding  Straps;  per  pair.. 


So  65 

Directions  for  "Using.— Attach  the  end-looks  of  Que  Riding  Straps  to  the  shoes,  and  the 
clasps  to  the  inside  edges  of  the  trouser  legs,  as  shown  in  the  cut.  Make  sure  that  the  outside  hooks 
are  well  in  place,  and  also  that  the  clasps  have  a  good  hold  on  the  trousers,  and  it  is  well  to  give 
them  an  extra  pinch.  If  the  Riding  Straps  are  too  long,  unscrew  one  hook  on  each  and  cut  off 
some  of  the  wire  spring.  To  unscrew  the  hook,  hold  the  end  of  the  wire  firmly  with  a  pair  of 
small  pliers;  otherwise,  as  the  tendency  of  the  wire  spring  is  to  bind  when  you  attempt  to  unscrew 
the  hoo'-;,  yon  are  liable  to  twist  the  whole  spring  out  of  shape.  If  Straps  are  too  short,  send  them 
back  and  another  pair  will  be  sent  in  their  place.
