Walking around on the wings, hanging by his teeth and his toes from the under carriage, standing on his head on the wings were just a few of the tricks he put over. His act was one of the best ever seen in Casper, “Slim” Caskey, the announcer, passed judg ment on {t when he remarked that he had never seen whiskey enough ta make him want to try stunts similar to Duncan's. The day's program was closed with @ pretty exhibition of trick and fancy riding.
