In the forenoon, there was a tournament on the water, in which the French sailors were the performers.

Several boats with lusty oarsmen put out to sea.

In the bows of each boat was a kind of ladder or steps, on which stood one of the combatants with a pole.

The boats were then pulled close to one another, and each combatant endeavoured to push his antagonist into the water.
Besides this, there was a Mat de Cocagne, with coloured shirts, ribbons, and other trifles fluttering at the top, for whoever chose to climb up and get them.

At 12 o'clock the chiefs and principal personages were entertained at dinner.
