[Footnote 91: #Juegos Florales#. The Floral Games are literary contests; the authors of the poems which have been awarded honors receive at the hands of the Queen of the Games prizes, consisting of flowers, both natural and of precious metals. The ceremony of the awards is made the occasion of an imposing festival, whence the allusion in the text. The Floral Games originated in Toulouse in the days of the Troubadours, in 1324. They have been revived with brilliance of late years in Barcelona and Valencia, and have spread thence to many other Spanish cities.]
