FOOTBALL.—In consequence of their not playing a return match at Towyn last season, the Town Football Club have been lined £ 5.

It was also understood that the Football Club at Towyn was defunct at that time of the season. CASTLE GROUNDS.—Whilst the flower beds on the Castle Grounds are being replenished with the usual supply of budding plants, it would be well if the authorities would give their attention to the plot of land at the entrance from Great Darkgate- street. This plot has hitherto been left untouched, and as it is the receptacle for all kinds of rubbish it is a positive eyesore. The place is well adapted for a border, which could be made one of the most beautiful in the Castle Grounds. OUTING.—On Wednesday afternoon the members of the Portland-street Congregational Hand of Hope had their annual outing, being conveyed in brakes to Penrhyncoch.
