BOOTS RANDOLPH, 80 Top Nashville musician Boots Randolph, whose spirited saxophone-playing on songs like "Yakety Sax" made him one of Nashville's top musicians, died Tuesday in the Tennessee city. He suffered a cerebral hemorrhage June 25 and had been hospitalized in a coma. Mr. Randolph played regularly in Nashville nightclubs for 30 years, becoming a tourist draw for the city much like Wayne Newton in Las Vegas and Pete Fountain in New Orleans. He recorded more than 40 albums and spent 15 years touring with the Festival of Music, teaming with fellow instrumentalists Chet Atkins and Floyd Cramer.

It was an intriguing day at Laurel Park yesterday with a shower hitting the track the race before the feature, a rainbow arching over the backstretch following the downpour, then the rare bald eagle flying in for a visit to the infield pond just before the card ended. But all the off-track activity had no effect on the competition itself as prohibitive favorites continued to rule. The trend was underscored again in the featured $75,000 Lady Baltimore Stakes when Melody Queen upheld her even-money status to score a 2 1/4 -length victory over the rallying second choice, Orange Sunset.

As source material for a musical, "The Wild Party" would seem like fairly obscure stuff. Yet the hard-edged, book-length poem by Joseph Moncure March spawned two musicals in New York this season. The Manhattan Theatre Club's off-Broadway production, written by Andrew Lippa, closed April 2. The New York Shakespeare Festival's Broadway rendition, by Michael John LaChiusa and George C. Wolfe, is vying for a Tony Award tonight, although the show was in danger of closing before the nominations were announced The poem behind all this recent interest was written in 1926 by the man who had been the first managing editor of the New Yorker.
