Betas are usually released to gather opinion about a project so the final release can be spruced up to meet mass appeal. Dodgson had already begun finalizing the Wonderland version of his story by the time he gave Alice her copy of Under Ground. Basically, the Liddell girls wanted to hear a story, and Alice asked him to write down the story he told for her and he later decided to turn it into a publication shortly before giving Alice the original manuscript. I don't really know if it could be considered a beta.
