Up to this time, Gar Wood has been the outstanding skimmer of the Seas," as Fenimore Cooper designated the hero of one of his novels, and it is as a threat to his supremacy that the Bluebird must be reckoned with. Gar, in one of his wildest moments, made a straightaway record of more than two miles a minute, or to be exact, 124.86 miles per hour, but Bluebird, as built, may easily better this, on the specifications made public to-day.
