T h o m a s R ic h a r d S u lin , one of the best-known cricketers in Natal, and captain last season of the Zingari C.C., died by his own hand at Lord’s cricket ground, Durban, on Ju ly 3 0. He was found in one of the sheds there with a Webley service revolver firmly grasped in his right hand, his brains blown out, and face so covered with blood as to be unrecognisable. No motive can be assigned for the act. A good sportsman, one of the steadiest of fellows, popular with all, Sulin seemed one of the least likely men imaginable to take his own life, or to have any reason for doing so. He was only 32 years of age. A large company followed his body to the grave, and there were many floral tributes, among them one from Mr. and Mrs. Claude Carter. Carter was one of Sulin’s comrades in the Zingari team. M r . D ig b y C a y le y (born Juno 7, 1 8 3 4 ) died on June 26 last. He played for the once famous Langton Wold club, and was an original member of the Yorkshire Gentlemen's C .C . (formed during the winter of 1 86 3-4) and for some seasons one of its best bowlers.
