Life and career

were, like him, first-class cricketers. All four brothers were prominent tennis players in New Zealand. A free-scoring batsman who sometimes opened the innings, and a fine fieldsman, Charles Gore played in the New Zealand cricket team's first first-class match, against the touring New South Wales team in 1893–94. He made his highest score of 57 when he and Arnold Williams added 137 for the fourth wicket for Wellington against Canterbury in 1896–97. A popular member of sporting and social circles in Wellington, he worked in the Crown Lands Office. He died of pneumonia at the age of 42.
