Then there was their festival of the Floralia, in honour of the reappearance of spring-time, with its hosts of bright blossoms, a survival of which has long been kept up in this country on May Day, when garlands and carols form the chief feature of the rustic merry-making.
It is said that they are the floralia of the Romans. Included in these sports are many of those amusements of the middle ages of which Ben Jonson sang: "The Cotswold with the Olympic vies In manly games and goodly exercise." Horse-racing is a great feature in the programme of these Whitsuntide festivities.
