Queen Elizabeth Declared By LAURENCE MEREDITH United Pron International London U1 I'll - UuckliiKlinm Piilnoo calls It Queen Eliza beth's hobby. The public calls it her passion. Critics callv It her weakness. And Royal Consort Prince Philip is ns cool to it as he Is to most spectator sports in which he docs not directly participate. The British Queen Is ac knowledged to be one of the empire's foremost experts on Weather in Guatemala Not for Conversation By MARGARET SCHULER Guatemala City, Guatemala -As a subject for conversa tional chit-chat, weather in Guatemala is quite useless. In our Oregon, we depend on weather-it is unparalleled in numberless conversation all situations. We make small introductory talk about weath er; we even talk seriously about it. It is interesting to tell our friends that "Today is really lovely,, isn't it?" or "What a dreadful smog, yes- terday-or rain or fog." It pleasant to say "It's certainly turned hot-or cold." But you can't do that In Guatemala because weather is always the same-it is always Spring. These poor people have only two opportunities in a year to be Interesting about their climate-when the rainy season ends, and the dry season starts. Or vice versa. For six months they have rain and for six months they don't. That is it. Eternal Spring In Guatemala there is no beginning Spring, with open ing buds, pussy willows and May flowers; no Summer with vacations at lakes or moun tains; no Autumn for children to wade in fallen leaves; no beautiful white Winter with snow and ice and fog. It is just Spring. "Eternal Spring," they call it. Guatemaltccas wouldn't ap preciate the poem. "High on a Windy Hill." There is no wind. They couldn't possibly understand "Seasons of mists and mellow fruitfulness. "Jin gle Bells" for them would probably suggest little ice cream wagons. School children know the lovely Spanish word "Prlme- vcra"-Spring, and the others- verano, otono, and Invlcrno. But they don't experience the meaning. Docile Child Guatemala is like a pleas ant, docile child - doing the right thing always, at the right time. Even the rain is proba bly the most accomodating rain in the world. It comes when you are led to expect it. It comes and goes as agreed. Even in the season of rain, mornings are bright and clear. About mid-day, fleecy clouds start to arrive from all sides of the heavens. They grow bigger and bigger, change from white to gray, and from gray to charcoal. By after noon they are ready for bus Loads and WATERM Word's around that Safeway water melons are the feasting kind. Each and every one is uniform In size.

Bleeders and horse owners estimate that since sho lis iness. As a warning - comes first a few gentle drops. Then like broken dams or gnrgnnt nan tubs, they turn upside down (and seemingly up) the avenues, on their various ways to the sea, to make more clouds to burst. Occasionally a sonic thunder blast tears through the sky, and good Christians cross themselves and pray. Just as suddenly It is over, and In IS minutes pavements will be almost dry, and as clean as wax. Sometimes the sun comes out for an hour or two. But at intervals all through the night comes the same effect. Next morning every morning-evcry day-for six months this continues. Sing In Rain If you ever would have a desire to sing In the rain, it would be here. As it's a warm rain, and there Is no wind, it's almost cozy to wade In it. When I was caught down in the shopping district recently and had scurried for shelter, I saw an amusing sight - a young Indian mother with her big eyed child, sitting snugly huddled against a wall, gnzlng placidly at passcrsby, from under a clear plastic sheet. When I write all this about climate, it is only from my knowledge on the 3,000-foot plateau, which Is Guatemala City. Stretching along the coast at sea level, where the rich coffee grows, weather Is another story I hear. James Martins Home From Trip Gold Hill Mr. and Mrs. James Martin and family have returned to their home after visiting her brother and sls- tcr-ln-law, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Trillcr at Richland, Wash.

Even so she Is the first reigning sovereign in Brit ain's history not to have shown 11 loss in horse racing. Sources close to the royal family deny that there Is any serious tension or dlsngiee nienl between Prlnco l'hlllp and the Queen over racing. Prince Leaves Races It Is known, however, that (ho Prince lefl (ho famed As cot races early to attend his own billiard tournament dur ing the most recent gathering of British society and racing enthusiasts. The Prince Is a royal family joke when It comes to racing mutters. For years he has been considered the family's racing jinx or hoodoo. "If I turn up, you know they'll lose," he once said to Boyd-Rochfort. In recounting the story Boyd-Rochfort added: "There seemed to be some thing In It, loo, until Ascot 1957. I went up to hlni to wards the end of the meeting and said, 'Well there you are, sir. It can't be your fault after all1." It wns the year the Queen's prized Aureole won the King George VI and Queen Eliza beth slakes. The Prince likes In partici pate in a sport himself, rather than watch others do it. He has been seen many times to to arrive at a racing meeting with the Queen in the State Landau only lo leave a few minutes later in his car, usu ally to play polo. But like the Queen he loves horses. Both love riding and rarely a week end at Windsor Castle passes without a gallop through the estate's great park. Rides Since Three The Queen has ridden horses since she was three-years-old when her grand father George V gave her Peggy, a Shetland pony. Horses and racing and breeding (hem Is a deeply Ingrained part of the family tradition. Her father King George VI once led the nation s horse owners In prize money. Her mother Dowager Queen Eliza beth owns a small string of horses and is an ardent race goer. Her great-grandfather King Edward VII was reputed to be as good a Judge of horseflesh as he was of beau tiful women. Racing, show-Jumping, rid- ing, inc wnnic worm oi mc horse are Queen Elizabeth's favorite relaxation. But she never bets. It Is the horses themselves, their capabilities j and potentialities to which her passion is attached. 1 Close beside her desk the 1 queen keeps a stud-book con taining the pedigrees of 42,-1 300 racehorses. She buys and studies documentary movies I on the training of purcbrcds. When she misses a big race the newsree Is sent to the palace and she studies it care fully.

There, one bright morning, it was said, two horses were seen galloping neck-and-neek around Iho final three fur longs of the famous race course, In the stretch one of the horses forged ahead to lend the other by three lengths across the finish line.
