Discussion:

The notice says that Stutt was "proprietor". Perhaps of the land that the race was to be on ?
Stutt Ave is still there to the east of the Easter Golf Club (formerly "Tullamore")

"In 1909 'Tullamore' was sold to William Stutt (formerly a Shire Councillor and an M.P.), and it remained in the family for over forty years ."
