Very unostentatiously the Duke and Duchess of Manchester, who was Miss Helena Zimmerman daughter of Eugene Zimmerman, president of the C., H. & D. railroad, arrived in Cincinnati Thursday morning from St. Louis, where they have been visiting the World's fair.  They were met at the depot by Mr. Zimmerman and were immediately driven to the St. Nicholas. "Grandpa" Zimmerman's attention was immediately taken up by Viscount Mandeville, the sturdy little son of the duchess, who is called "Mandy" by his democratic grandfather.  Both the duke and the duchess are in the best of health and enjoyed their visit to the fair immensely.  The duke was seen by a Times-Star reporter at the St. Nicholas, and when asked what he thought of the world's fair, used the same expression that President Roosevelt had, "Marvelous," and continued by saying it was typical of American enterprise.  The couple will leave Thursday night at 8:10 for Natchez, Miss., to accompany the duke's grandmother to that city, where she will spend the winter.  They will return to this city soon.
