BETTING AT MANCHESTER-WEDNESDAY.

The principal bilsiness of the day was the meeting at
York. Some little was done on the Derby, which was
more remarkable as indicating the state of the market than
for the amount of business done. At one time Diophantus
had rather the call of Dundee, and even money was betted
between them, but later on 4 to 1 was taken about Dun-
dee and offered against Diophantus, but there were offers
to take 9to 2. Closing prices :

Mn. E. W. TOPHAM AND THE "DAILY TELEGRAPH."
—A most unjustifiable article appeared in this newspaper a
short time since, attributing to Mr. Topham corrupt
motives in the handicapping for the Chester Cup. We
have authority to state that the matter has been placed in
the hands of his solicitors, and that legal proceedings for
the publication of the alleged libel have been commenced.—
Chester Courant.
