tpv Associated rrcss.


WASHINGTON, November S.-DiS-
uraEcment felt here over the news
Of the overthrow OF the kerensky gov
ernmcnt at Petrograd is tempered by
hope that the extreme radicals who
have seized the capital may not be
able to extend their control over the
army or any considerable part of the
country. However, it is feared that
much blood must he shed and the ma
tion further dcmoraliZed before any
power rises above the turmoil strong
enough TO control the situation.
Both the State Department and the
Russian embassy still were without
official adviccs tonight. Consequently.
there was no official comment on the
situation. Informally, it was pointed
out that. with the telegraph lines and
the Semiotiical News Agency at Pc
troGrad in the hands of the radicals,
ii would be difficult to learn the true
state of affairs. although there was
no disposition TO question the collapse
of the provisional governments power
III the capital.
Whether th!s control OF the channels
OF information will extend to interfer-
ence with dispatches which Ambas-
sador Francis and other diplomatic rep
resentatives undoubtedly are sending
their governments is not known.
The suggestion that the new power
at PetroGrad may be short-lived is
based 10 an extent upon the fact that
the Cossacks. the best militia v fore.
in Russia. though extremely je. GUS of
their own local liberties, always have
been rcckoned upon TO support a strong
conservative government. II was con-
ceifed III some quarters that il kereu.

SELLS CURLE's NECK FARM
TO CHARLES H. RUDD0CK
c. *. &. Billings Disposes of Famous
River Estate to His Broth
er-in-Law.
PRICE is GIVEN AT 5000 900
Sale Includes Mansion'Ho Built
by Senh and Oval Race Track on
Which Worlds Record Was Made
by Chlan.

Cornelius *. G.. Billings has sold his
| famous Curle's Neck Farm to Charles
, II. Ruddock. Of Manhattan. New York
The farm and all improvements were
transferred to Ruddock. who is a
brother-in-law Of Billings, for $500.
600. according to the deed which has
been filed in tho licnrico Circuit Court
Billings purchased the property from
the estate OF Charles H. Senff in Oc-
tober. 1913, for $500. 900, and since that
time he has spent over 100000 in i'm
provcmcntS.
At the time OF tho purchase Billings
was one OF the foremost horsemen Of
America. and he at once began to re-
| model the estate for the purpo: Of
breeding and housing thorough br ID
horses. Since that time CurIcs Neck
Farm has been one of the most widely
known race horse establishments in
the country. Some months ago Bill
lings sold out practically his entire
stock Of horses and retired from the
turf.
WonLD'S RECORD MADE
on IT'S OVAL RACE TnAC.-
In addition 10 being famous for its
facilities for breeding and caring for
horscs the farm is widely known by
its mile oval race track. which is said
by expert horsemcn TO be orc of the
best in the country. The track is pat
termed after those at Lexington. NY.
and Cleveland. Ohio. and, was built
without regard to expense. 1t also is
one Of the fastest tracks in the country.
Billings himself drove Uhian an cighi IN
of mile on this track in thirteen
seconds. making an unofficial world )
record. While this record cannot 60
down as official. the horse was timed
BY some OF the best known horscmen
of the country. including Ed 4. Tip
ton. Captain Thomas Harrington. of
England, and w. j. Carter of this
city.
When the millionaire horscnlan re-
tired from the turf some time ago lie
kept only two OF his famous horses
Uhlan, :5S. the worlds champion tro,-
ter for the mile. and Lou rillon. l:5sL.
queen Of the trottinE mares, were tho
only two horses retained by Billings
! Louis Forest was given TO W. !. Car.
ter OF this city. by Billings. Forest
ran tho mile with Uhlan in o:o3i.,
while he himself ran 1t in o:06L.
The remainder OF the famous horses.
including The Harvester. ex-king OF
trottinG stations; William. 1885,.
worlds champion wagon PAGER. and a
number Of thorouEhbreds, were re.
Gently sold at auction in New York
City. and netted about 100000 for the
American Red Cross.
AT tho time OF tho purchase OF
Curlc's Neck Farm, Billings brought
over from Europe "a number of thor
ouchbrcd horses and from tbose ,.o,no
Omar khayyam. one of the fastest
modern race horses Khayyam was
raised at Curle's Neck.
