Chenery'i ' Hill Prince and Greentree stable's Guillontine face each other for the first time in the $20,000 ex perimental handicap No, 1, Under the weights assigned by Handicapper John B. Campbell last January, Hill Prince, third choice in the winter books at 6 to 1, carries 124 pounds in the six furlong stake while Guil lotine, who opened at 12 to 1 but now is down to 8, shoulders 122.
