ONE WHALE TO BE SACRIFICED
A Change in the Program OF Gov. Budd's
EXPEDITION

There has been a change in the whal-
ing expedition, which is to leave San
Francisco under the command of Gov
Budd. The Examiner of Tuesday says:
Although the Golden Gate carnival has
been officially postponed until spring,
or maybe longer, Goodall, Perkins & Co.
will go ahead and kill whale just the
same. The whale has been officially no.
titled that his obsequies are billed for
August % in the interest of the carnival,
and there will be no change in the pro
gram. This is considered sufficient time
for the victim to settle his affairs and
arrange to come alongside.
The original idea was to kill the whale
tow his pulseless remains to North Beach
and charge an admission fee for the ben
eft of the carnival. A large crowd of
ladies and gentlemen were to be taken
out on the steamer Queen. while the
whale was being stabbed off the Fara-
Homes. They Will go anyway, as the
corpse is to be exhibited for the benefit
of the Associated Charities.
AS this institution has never had a
whale hunt for its exclusive benefit. the
proceeding should meet with unqual-
fled success. The expedition will leave
early on the morning of August %, and
return as soon as the leviathan has been
bagged. The projectors of the entertain
ment assert that there will be no diff
Guilty in finding the whale, and the novel
spectacle of seeing him killed for the
Associated Charities is one not seen
every day. 1t was the intention at first
to use the tug Fearless and steam
schooner but so many applications
nave been made by amateur whalers
that the Queen was substituted for the
schooner. Gov. Budd, the harbor COM
missioners and several other distin-
guished people will be in the party
