Total Of 1873 Casualties in
Recent Battle at EnStin.
Report That Ninth LanCers Had Been
Surrounded and Captured Probably
Unfounded--Ge Buffers Report.

London, Nov. 2s.-A dispatch has
been received here from General Butler
giving a list OF the casualties among
the troops engaged in what was hith-
erto known here as the battle Of Gras-
pan, but which is now officially desig-
mated as the battle of Enslin. 1t proves
as anticipated that the British success
was heavily bought. The losses an
nounced today make a grand total OF
1913 as the cost OF General Me-
thuen's second battle. The Yorkshire
apparently bore, with the naval bri-
gade. the brunt OF the fighting, as there
are, in addition TO three officers, As OF
the rank and file killed, wounded ana
missing. The list contains casualties
of the Ninth Lancers, and this seems
to dispose OF the fears that the caval-
surrounded and captured, es-
pecially as none cf the lancers are re-
ported missing.

ARE COMING HOME
Wichita's Famous Jockeys
Have Reached America.
REIFF BOYS IN NEW YORK
Kings of Jockeydom Get a
Reception at the Wharf,

Lester Reiff and his small brother,
Johnny, who have been riding for the
best stables in the world, arrived at
New York from London Sunday. and will
be at home probably today on a visit to
their parents, who formerly lived here,
but now reside in Ohio. The Jockeys are
said to be getting rich nd will invest in
a home for their parents before they
leave again for Europe, which will be
about February.
The two boys were the admiration Of a
great crowd Of turfmen on their arrival
IN New York, and the smaller one, John
ny, is considered wonder by every lover
of good racing. He is the equal, if not
superior of Tod Sloan, who has held the
lhonors of jockeydom for many years. A
special dispatch from New York says:
Lester Reiff and his small brother,
Johnny, arrived on the steamer st. Louis
this afternoon. There is nothing of the
fashionable about Johnny Reif so far.
The 14-year-old lad was clad in knee
breeches and a long, warm oVercoat that
came nearly to his ankles.
81 was well only two days during the
trip" was Master Johnny's first remark
to explain how seasick he had been.
''How funny this looks after London"
he said as the cab turned out OF West
street, enroute for the Hoffman House,
where the brothers will stay for a few
days, while Lester attends to some bust
ness. Then they will leave for their home
in Ohio and will leave for England in
February.
Altogether it was a subdued little nota-
bilfty that came off the St. Louis, though
as his brother said, "they really thought
more Of Johnny over in England than
all the rest of US put together"
Johnny Reiff can ride well within nine
ty pounds, about eighty-six pounds in
fact while Lester cannot get below lis
pounds.
IT could have won twice as many
races said the elder brother, eff only
could have reduced a few pounds more"
The brothers will ride for the same sta
bleS next season.
