MR. HENRY BOYD SUTHERLAND, late Captain in the King's Own Royal Lancaster Regiment, died at St. Leonard's-on-Sea on August 27, aged 71. He was in the Eton XI in 1861 and two following years, and in 1863 it was said of him:-- A very steady and excellent bowler. Uncertain as a bat, being rather fond of THE hit. Takes point well. In his six Public School matches--v. Harrow and Winchester--he made 68 runs in ten innings and took twenty-one wickets. Against Winchester in 1861 his analyses were six for 19 and three for 12. In 1871 he played in one match for Kent. His elder brother, Mr. C. L. Sutherland, appeared for Eton in 1855, 1856, and 1858.
