DROUGHT IN NEW SOUTH WALES.
(SPECIAL TO "THE PBESS.") WELLINGTON, April IS. The New Zealand lawn tennis team, which has just returned from Sydney, speak of the effects of the drought in New South Wales, as they travelled through the country for five or six hundred miles. As far as the eye could see the country was as bare as the street of a city.'Not a vestige of grass was to be seen anywhere. Tin; conditions were so bad that it was the general opinion that if rain did not come within the next few weeks, the country was in for a very serious time. The rain which fell at Sydney was confined to the coastal area, and did not extend to the parched country inland. It was a matter of wonder to the New Zealanders how the stock existed at all, but they were told that, as long as the weather remained warm and the animals could get water, they would manage somehow, but once a cold snap set in,- there would be heavy mortality. ,-
