These sheets of non-felting hair, and the said substantial imitations thereof, prepared substantially as aforesaid, are to be cut to the required shape, and stitched or otherwise fastened on, or secured to, a back of cloth, leather, or other suitable material. In this condition it is easily applied to, or used with, the different articles of harness, or parts thereof, by any of the well-known methods, the back aforesaid being attached to the parts of the harness or equipments requiring the lining.

What We claim as our invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
