(Canadian Press) OTTAWA, Oct. 6-A steady downpour from leaden skies marred today's spectacle on Parliament Hill. The capital city, drenched with over four hours of almost con- tinuous reins, presented a depress- ing setting for the opening of Par- liament. Only a few hundred peo- ple braved the elements to watch the ceremonies within and without the Senate chamber, striking con- trast to the eager, jostling throngs which ordinarily mill around Par- liament Hill on the day of the opening. Mufiled in their heavy great costs, the soldiers of the Gov- ernor Generals Foot Guards which furnished the guard of honor look- ed rather forlom as the rain beat down upon them.

Accompanying Their Excellencles from Rideau Hell was a detachment cf the Princess Louise's Dragoon Guards, also muffled in capes, while the rain pelted down on their brass helmets. The salute to His Excellency was quickly execut- ed and entering the Parliament
