THE I'TRST TEST. (Received This Dav at 8 a.m.) LONDON, May 18 The “Daily News” in asking who will lead England, says the announcement that Fry will captain the Marylebone team on Saturday, to some extent lifts the veil of official secrecy. Saturday’s match will be a dress rehearsal and good judges predict that Fry will he the final choice. It. is a fact that the M.C.C. has great admiration for Douglas as an all round cricketer, but does not fancy him as captain.
