CHAPTER XVI. THE TOURNAMENT. IE day following that of Rhoda's arrival at Came- Ict was appointed for a grand tournament or joust, when all the knights of Arthur's court, and as many besides as chose to attend, were to tilt with blunted lances and edgeless swords, fighting not for life, but glory and ladies' smiles.

Over that at the right hand was a golden crown, and above it floated the dragon banner, marking it for the royal seat. Over the other was also suspended a crown, but this was only of tinsel and flowers, and a banner representing Cupid surrounded by roses : this gallery was intended for the Queen of Love and Beauty, to be chosen by the knigut most successful in the first melee, as the general combat was called in distinction to those single combats where only two knights contended. Outside the barriers at the enus of the lists were pitched several pavilions and tent-
