Coincidence probabilities have been determined for a network of Laser Interferometric Gravitational-Wave detectors which observe bursts from coalescing binary systems containing neutron stars or black holes. The formula for the single-detector antenna pattern for plane-waves from binaries is first determined. The single-detector detection probability is then calculated in addition to the double, triple, and quadruple coincidence rates for possible detector locations in the U.S. and Europe. It is suggested that the proposed detectors should be able to see events from sources out to 550 Mpc with a probability of greater than 80 percent.
