He was a horseman of the old school and up to the time of his death he had a man meet him after the races with a horse and wagon to drive him home. He preferred this means of transportion to the automobile or railway train. He was an enthusiastic road driver when the trotter was in his prime and the dirt roads from Prospect Park to Coney Island were kept as good as a race track. Sonny "Workman reported yesterday to trainer James Rowe, Sr., and started in galloping the Harry Payne Whitney horses. He will not wear silks for at least a week, as he will not be permitted to run any risk of further injury to his collarbone, which was fractured in Maryland several weeks ago. Steve Burke, popular lawnite, made his first appearance yesterday after a two weeks absence due to illness. Clarence Farrell of Philadelphia was a visitor yesterday at Aqueduct.
