The Atlanta Semi-Weekly Journal, Atlanta, Ga. November 21, 1913
Richmond, Va., Nov. 20 -- All speculation as to the purchase price paid by C. 
K. G. Billings for Curl's Neck plantation ended today when a deed transferring 
the famous estate to the millionaire turfman was admitted to record in the 
clerk's office of Henrico county.

The farm cost Mr. Billings $300,000 in cash, the receipt of which is 
acknowledged in the deed.

The transfer was made by Frederick W. Senff, executor of the will of Charles F. 
Senff, the sugar magnate, and Gustavia A. Senff, of Whitestone, L. I., widow of 
the owner of Curl's Neck.

Building has already been begun on large and handsomely fitted barns to house 
Mr. Billings' string of champion trotters, including Uhlan, 1:58; Lou Dillon, 
the first trotter to go a mile under two minutes, and The Harvester, ?:01, 
world's champion trotter stallion.
