...SUMMARY of the contests of the regatta week at Saratoga will be found in another column, and we do not propose to load our columns with a lengthy recapitulation of the questions which the result has left in dispute...

No signals being used in this race, the position of the crews could not be ascertained till the last mile was entered upon, when the white shirts of Yale showed...
