"Myers' Grand Hippodrome" by Anonymous is a historical account written in the late 19th century that explores the grandeur and intricacies of a lavish equestrian and animal performance venue. The book focuses primarily on Mr. J. W. Myers and his ambitious hippodrome establishment, which showcases a wide variety of spectacular acts featuring trained animals, acrobats, and equestrians, emphasizing the popularity of such entertainment during its time. The narrative delves into the various aspects of Mr. Myers' Grand Hippodrome, detailing not only the elaborate performances, which include chariot races, lion taming by John Cooper, and the equestrian pantomime "Little Red Riding Hood," but also behind-the-scenes insights into the care and training of the vast array of animals that comprise the show. Audiences are treated to descriptions of the breathtaking scenes set in the Crystal Palace, where the show takes place. The text highlights the skilled performers and their unique talents, as well as the tremendous logistical efforts required to transport and maintain such a large and diverse troupe of animals and artists, capturing the essence of a bygone era of entertainment.
