SOUTH AUSTRALIA . DEPARTURE FROM ADELAIDE OF DR . KENT , PL . G . M . " And you , foravell , whoso morits claim Justly that highest budgo to wcur . "—Bumrs . Saturday the 23 rd December , having been fixed on for Dr . Kent to go on board the Antelope steamer , an invitation appeared in the papers , addressed to all free and
accepted Masons , to join in a farewell demonstration to their Pl . G . M . on the occasion of his departure for the mother-country . Shortly after two o ' clock a considerable number of the officers and brothers of the various Lodges assembled at the Masonic Hall , North Terrace . When the room was nearly full , a deputation proceeded for Dr . Kent in a chariot drawn by eight horses , all iron-greys , most spirited animals , and beautifully matched . This imposing turn-out , with its postilions in scarlet and gold , and other brilliant appointments , attracted general notice . On the arrival of
Dr . Kent at the Masonic Hall , the Grand Lodge was opened in due form b y the D . P . G . M ., Br . Lazar , and the dispensation appointing him to act during the absence of the P 1 . G . M . was read by the Pl . G . S ., Br . Dr . Mou-e . The Pl . G . M ., Dr . Kent , then presented the patent of authority ( granted to him by the Earl of Zetland , G . M . of England ) to Br . Lazar , who in a short but appropriate address acknowledged the honour that had been conferred upon him . The Pl . G . M . then took leave of the Grand Lodge in an affecting speech , and the Lodge ivas closed according to ancient nsa-rc .
While those proceedings engaged attention within the Lodge , numerous vehicles arrived with brothers anxious to join the procession . This concourse , together with the strains of a brass band , attracted a considerable crowd outside of the Masonic Hall , and Several ladies secured seats under the ornate verandah which shades the front of the building . When the door of the Lodge-room was thrown open ancl Dr . Kent appeared , escorted by the principal officers in their regalia , several persons pressed forward , anxious to grasp the hand , to breathe a parting word , or catch a nod
of recognition from one who seemed to have enjoyed the rare good fortune of living many years among thera with universal respect , and wfiose departure was looked upon by all with regret . As the worth y Pl . G . M . proceeded to his seat in the chariot , he was saluted with Masonic honours by the Craft . When they subsided he arose , and taking off his hat , bade farewell to all his friends present who were not Freemasons . This courteous act elicited a round of cheers in reply . The procession started along North Terrace in an easterl y direction until it reached King William Streetwhere it
, turned into Hindley Street . At the top of Hindley Street the cavalcade paused for a few moments , where the last arrangement of the procession was effected , and it proceeded rapidly to the Port , being loudly cheered at various points throughout the journey .
