NEW I~ACE ON OI~D BEL1'S. The old lace on a belt may be removed and the old leather re-covered with new lace. vVhen 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: For re-covering field officer's belt and slings with best gilt wire lace '. $5 00 For re-covering field officer's belt and slings with real gold wire lace 10 00 For re-covering line officer's belt and slings with best gilt wire and silk lace, 4- 00 For re-covering line officer's belt and slings with real gold wire and silk lace, 10 00

Infantry Military Leggings should be made of "troll.q, dU1'able duck, and mad e 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. Thev should be so made that one part will not wear out be· fore another, and for that reason the edge must not be bound either with leather or cloth, neither must a raw edge. be exposed. Buckles and straps should be riveted into the leggings, not sewed on. The fastening ought never to be positil'e, like buttons. heavy snap springs, patent g]o\'e bntton clasps, etc., N 1 N 2 ill] of whieh admit of no o .• o .. play. but the legging must nevertheless fit exactly.

STIRRUPS.

The WhitJuan Stirrup.-In whatever ways stirrups have been improved, excepting thewooden stirrup, there is only ODeother 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 means of a neat rubber llIat countersunk in its foot-plate prevents the foot from slipping. A pal!' of these Stirrups may be useel a good while, and then may be made as good as new by replating au(l substituting new rubber mats for the old ones. No person who has used the Whitman Stirrup· wiJ] ever be satisfied with any othcr kind.

Points of Excellence.-The IVhilman Bits. with the vVhilnmn Snap Hook Attachment, are reeommendabie for their lightncss. e]eganee. economy, and, above a11,strength. They combine the common riding bit and bradoon in one. They are not hard on the horse's month, and at the same time they invest the rider with great power to contro] his horse. ~P]ease note that we can fUl'Ilish these bits with four rings, arranged for two reins with port or straight l11olJth, instead of t,vo rings as shown in cuts.

Their Use.-Attache(] to the sole of the shoe and trousers on the inner side of the foot they arc entirely concealed fl'Omview. and the trousers hang naturally. The rider's appearance is thereby greatly improved, his comfort increased, and his trousers are secured from injury. The cndhooks being connected with a spiral spring, they will1it any shoe. Longer ami shorter lengths can be furnished if desired. Ko butt0ns on the trousers are necessary. 'lhe straps can be put on or taken 01rin an instant. No. +601".

Directions for Using.-Attach the end·llOoksof the Riding Straps to the shoes, and the elasps to the inside edges of the trouser legs, as shown in the eut ;\Iakesure that the outside hooks are well in place, and also that the elasps have a good hold on the trousers, and it is well to give them an extra pinch. If the Hiding Straps are too long. unscrew one hook on eaeh and eut off some of the wire srring. To unscrew the hook, hold the end of the wire firm]y with a pair of small pliers; otherwise, as the tendetH'Yof the wire spring is to bind when you attempt to unscrew the hoo'" you are liable to twist the whole spring out of shape. If Straps are too short, send them back and another pair will bc sent in thcir pJace.
