Concerning The Ardath Jobacco.
A very interesting event in South Australian Masonry , late in 1904 , was the installation at Adelaide , as Master of the St . Alban Lodge , of His Excellency Sir George Le Hunte , Governor of the State , with the ceremony performed
HUO . . 1 . C . CUNNINGHAM , ( IIIA . NI ) SKCIIKTAHV OF SOUTH AUSTIIAI . IA . by the Right Reverend J . R . Harmer , D . D ., at that time Bishop of Adelaide , and now of Rochester . It would be an oversight to omit deserving reference lo
one who may fairly claim to be the father of Masonry in South Australia . The eminent brother referred to is the Hon . Sir James Penn Boucaut , K . C . M . G ., Judge of the Supreme Court ( he was called to the Bar in Adelaide in 1 85 6 ) from 18 78 1111 1905 , when he resigned . He has been three times Premier of the land of the colony , the lirst time in 1866 .
Our venerated brother has been an active member of the Duke of Leinster Lodge , Irish Constitution , during nearly fifty years , the greater part of that long period as Deputy Provincial Grand Master . Very prominently , too , has been his connection with the chapter and Mark lodge , still attached to the Duke ol Leinster Lodge , and since 1858 he lias been a member of the Percy Preceplorv of Knights Templar , which was opened in that vear in Adelaide , under warrant of the then " Baldwin "
Grand and Roval Encampment , at Bristol , which botlv was amalgamated with the present supreme head of the Ordain 1862 . In 1868 the veteran fraler was appointed Grand Commander ( now styled Provincial Prior ) of the Order in South Australia , and in 18 97 West Australia was added to
his jurisdiction , coincidentlv with the graii ' . ing of a warrant for the opening of a preceptory at Fremanlle , in the latter colony , and it is onl y recently that another preceptory was chartered under his sway at Broken Hill . Add to all this . Sir f . B . Boucaut was one of the founders of ( he Alfred
Masonic Hall already referred to , and from the very commencement he has been a trustee of the Benevolent Fund connected therewith , indeed , he is the only survivor of the live originals , he then being Provincial Grand Secretary of the In" ; h Constitution . All else requiring to be observed in connection with South
Australian Masonry is summed in the fact that it has a Supreme Grand Chapter , also a Masters' and Wardens ' Association , and that the Grand Lodge funds total is more than £ 21 , 000 .
