It is the grandest structure ever erected for the exhibition of cattle, sheep, swine, poultry, etc.

I will essay no description of it here, but it will carry through long generations the name and memory of Jonas Webb of Babraham.

He was chairman of the company that built the superb edifice; also president of the Nitro-phosphate or Blood-manure Company, a fertilizer in which he had the greatest confidence, and which he used in great quantities upon the large farm he cultivated, containing over 2,000 acres.
At the age of nearly sixty-six, Mr.Webb found that his health would no longer stand the strain of the toil, care, and anxiety requisite to keep up the Babraham flock to the high standard of perfection which it had attained.

So, after nearly forty years of devotion to this great occupation of his life, he concluded to retire from it altogether, dispersing his sheep and cattle as widely as purchasers might be found.

This breaking-up took place at Babraham on the 10th of July, 1862.
