... TUESDAY. The Liverpool Steeple Chase, Metropolitan Stakes, and Derby, were altogether set aside by the appearance of the Chester Cup weights, which were descanted upon throughout the whole of the morning, the result of Mr. E.

... We- demurred to the indefinite period allowed for the appearance of the Chester Handicap, qualifying the implied censure by venturing a supposition that Mr. Topham was desirous of baulking the cognoscenti.
