OFFER VIRGINIA. ESTATE.
For Establishment of Cavalry Con-
o,+~o+;o po;nt for tho Army.

J For Establishment of Cavalry Con
!. centration Point for the Army.
The government has received an
offer of large stock and horse
breeding estate On the James River
below Richmond for the establish
ment of a mid-Atlantic cavalry con-
centration point. The. property, it is
said, has ample stable facilities
tracks and maneuver fields, and has
the necessary railroad facilities. Cap
tain Hines will, on advices from the
Department of the East, look into the
offer. The exact location of the prop
erty has not been made known to the
military authorities, the offer being
a tentative one. The Curle's Neck
Farm, owned by C. X. G. Billings,
New York capitalist, is about the only
property that seems to fit the descrip-
ton of the property offered.
The Department of the East has
ordered the superintendent of the
New York arsenal, or his commits
stoned assistant, to visit Richmond,
Norfolk, Portsmouth and Hampton
for the purpose of inspecting the
property of the four batteries of Vir-
ginia field artillery. It is the purpose
of the government to see that the
equipment is ready for heavy field
service at once. The artillery arm
of the service would be the hardest
to supply in an emergency, conse-
quently, it is necessary to see that
everything is strictly serviceable.
Just when the officer will arrive has
not been learned.
